It's like when you find a band that you love and then five years later they have a huge hit. All of a sudden you're liable to shrug them off with a glib "Actually, I prefer their older stuff" comment. Not that I've ever done that, of course, but some people have. <br />Love your chattering natter (although I prefer the older posts!)<br />Cheers then,<br />Steve R.<br />PS.

Take a look at Wikipedia's entry about him; I was delighted to find that the article actually reproduces a number of his wonderful illustrations, which I love. And, for his most well known poem, look up "The Tyger" at http://www.artofeurope.com/blake/bla2.htm -- which begins "Tyger, tyger, burning bright in the forests of the night...." I suppose my academic background is showing; unless you're a veteran reader of poetry or a college English major you probably wouldn't be aware of Blake's work, but I think he's well worth discovering. -- EuniceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
