What problem, normie?
He was a bit bald
Nothing? We wrote nursery rhythms and made charming little watercolor paintings. That’s about as good as it gets.
He*
>charming little watercolor paintings.
I mean he could practice more before...
Poetic Genius
Nothing was his problem. He desired, out of all things most in life, a child. And in his faith he found none, and yet he still remained faithful to the absolute, and sang its praises on his deathbed. Do you have the strength to commit to something so resolutely?

I'd prefer to coom tbh
If I had to guess, masonry, but he has a lot of good points.
Tiriel is my favourite I feel so filtered though.

how can someone with such radical beliefs about sexuality, that are even radical today call themselves a Christian yet be one of the GOAT mystical poets?
Mysticism and sexuality go together.
Of course they do. They are both ultimately sensual. All that mysticism really is, at base, is sensuality larping as spirituality.
Sad that you're not a mystic so you can't actually know the deep truths of mysticism. You can only describe it abstractly and as such fumble around with terminology.
That was a feeble rebuttal if ever there was one. I just gave you the deep truth of mysticism. Enjoy. I don't charge a fee.
The opposite seems more valid, that sensuality is mysticism larping as something physical or biological-mechanical. Read D. H. Lawrence and Bataille. La petite mort is hardly a sensual or physical phenomena.
Lmao, read D.H. Lawrence! HA! You haven't got shit figured out, kid. And that's a fact!
>radical beliefs about sexuality
Not Blake's position. Energy is eternal delight, the sexual still leads away from Jerusalem to Ulro:
>These are the Sexual Garments, the Abomination of Desolation,
>Hiding the Human Lineaments as with an Ark & Curtains
>Which Jesus rent: & now shall wholly purge away with Fire
>Till Generation is swallow'd up in Regeneration.
>Then trembled the Virgin Ololon & reply'd in clouds of despair:
>Is this our Femin[in]e Portion, the Six-fold Miltonic Female?
>Terribly this Portion trembles before thee, O awful Man.
>Altho' our Human Power can sustain the severe contentions
>Of Friendship, our Sexual cannot: but flies into the Ulro.
>Hence arose all our terrors in Eternity
He was an antisemitic chud
who sits with a sly grin
Silent plotting when to question like a thief in a cave:
Who publishes doubt & calls it knowledge: whose Science is Despair:
Whose pretence to knowledge is Envy: whose whole Science is
To destroy the wisdom of ages to gratify ravenous Envy,
That rages round him like a Wolf day & night without rest.
He smiles with condescension: he talks of Benevolence & Virtue:
And those who act with Benevolence & Virtue they murder time on time.
These are the destroyers of Jerusalem, those are the murderers
Of Jesus, who deny the Faith & mock at Eternal Life
Mawkish treatment of criticism of israelites as self-evidently irrational and evil is passé. They're beginning to be perceived as representatives of pre-Enlightenment, pre-revolutionary irresponsible, arbitrary power justified by private, tribal religious cant. Good to see Blake was right.
Then we prosecute him on the basis of Islamophobia. You can't win!
