Was William Blake a proto-revolutionary-socialist? Umm... No!
But how did such a massively, bizarrely, obviously false idea gain such wide currency? Over at Albion Awakening I suggest it was (as so often) a matter of metaphysics...
I bought a cheap secondhand copy of the works of Blake years ago but hadn't touched it until recently, when I suddenly felt moved to start reading it. A day or two later, you started writing posts on Blake.
At the same time, I've recently started rereading the Book of Mormon (partly because the letters "BOM" suddenly started popping up everywhere and I thought I should take the hint) and am currently in the dreaded "Isaiah chapters" of 2 Nephi -- which chapters "G" at the Junior Ganymede happened to write a post on a few days ago.

Ah, it's good to be back in Synchroni City!
