Enjoyed learning more about the poet, engraver, painter, philosopher William Blake and his life. His character came through the journal entries and reflections of others. I would have liked more focus on his poem Jereuselem as very familiar with it from childhood hymns. I am glad I read this. I understand his mysticism and purpose more now.

A brilliant insight into the world of a genius, not entirely appreciated in his time. I am sure his great works with live on forever.
