Jerusalem, Plate 34 [38], (E 179)
"but mild the Saviour follow'd him,
Displaying the Eternal Vision! the Divine Similitude!
In loves and tears of brothers, sisters, sons, fathers, and friends
Which if Man ceases to behold, he ceases to exist:
Saying. Albion! Our wars are wars of life, & wounds of love,
With intellectual spears, & long winged arrows of thought:
Mutual in one anothers love and wrath all renewing
We live as One Man; for contracting our infinite senses
We behold multitude; or expanding: we behold as one,
As One Man all the Universal Family; and that One Man
We call Jesus the Christ: and he in us, and we in him,
Live in perfect harmony in Eden the land of life,
Giving, recieving, and forgiving each others trespasses."
Letters, To Thomas Butts, (E 722)
"Los flamd in my path & the Sun was hot
With the bows of my Mind & the Arrows of Thought
My bowstring fierce with Ardour breathes
My arrows glow in their golden sheaves"
Blake was an innovator, an inventor. It is
satisfying to see that in our age innovators and inventors have
turned to the tools that are now available in order to present Blake in
ways which were unavailable in his contemporary world. In order
to give a flavor of ways Blake's life and work is being
reinvented, I have selected four videos from the many which are
available on YouTube. For more information about the subject of
the video, click on the link to a post which treats similar ideas.
