“This is my own poetic Blake, my heroic, defiant, antinomian Blake who follows his conscience when he finds he is enslaved by another man's system for a time in Felpham....from 1800-1803 when England was besieged by Napoleon & threatened with invasion. Yet Blake would converse along its beach with Moses, Dante & the Angels - a Soul in the grip of Eternity holding a grain of sand. They lived poorly with their eyes in Heaven.
