My current audiobook. I started this past week. The author, John Higgs, seems like a character, with many talents. He‘s really into and excited about the psychology of Blake, who was very much interested in his own vision and the visual world of his own mind. It‘s been fun. I read some Blake poetry along with this, and he has really added to my (still limited) understanding.
Random book from our home library:
📖 Songs of Innocence and of Experience (Illustrated Throughout in Full Colour) by William Blake
"O Rose thou art sick.
The invisible worm.
That flies in the night
In the howling storm:
Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy;
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy."
- The Sick Rose
I like faded flowers, though these are starting to get a bit Miss Haversham, so I should probably throw them out now ?

pickChallenging at times without explanatory notes but interesting nonetheless especially with some of his letters for context.
