Some things I have in common with William Blake, born in London in 1757:
1 As a child we had visions of God, angels, prophets, and guardian angels.
2 We both were appointed to study engraving.
3 We both privately printed our own books.
4 We both believe the human soul leaves the body and rises to Heaven in Joy.
5 We both experimented with illuminated etchings.
6 When we view the sun rising, we see innumerable angels of the Heavenly Host.
7 We both see innumerable spirits of many historical figures.
Just before he died, his countenance became fair. His eyes brightened and he burst into singing of the things he saw in Heaven.
He said: “Without minute neatness of execution, the sublime cannot exist! Grandeur of ideas is founded on precision of ideas.”
