Mrs. William Blake

Talk about amazing, there was a woman who the most amazing man in the 19th century met, and was nourished by. A man who by some freak planetary accident, could think creatively and consistently. It is the latter adverb that is the amazing part. And this poet, artist, gentle person, had the protection of marriage, a woman who was content without monetary rewards, who was by his side. What, you want us to have tea together, in the garden, and both of us without any clothes on. Meeting the neighbors thusly. Yes, darling, if that is what you want, let's do it.
My admiration goes to Mrs. Blake, for her accomplishments, this nurturing, this steadying, she accomplished, was the result of totally mechanical forces. No one remembers Mrs. Blake, and yet one has to believe she made William Blakes's productivity greater. As how to classify Blake himself, we may have another post soon on that.
