My Blakean Year
My evening hours are spent with Fearful Symmetry: A Study of William Blake. More accurately, it is a study of his poetry and the coherent symbolic world Blake created. If you follow the link, scroll down to the Statistically Improbable Phrases and other analysis that Google provides. These may entice you to look inside the book.
I have always had a soft spot for creative visionaries, especially those who are misunderstood or ignored in their own time. And as I have come to understand from reading widely on the subject, many of these characters are kooks. But some are the real deal. Not everyone agrees on where the dividing-line should be.
I was led to Blake by re-reading (for the umpteenth time) Brenda Ueland's fantastic little book "If You Want to Write." Hint: it's really about how to do anything. Highly recommended.

A better embedded player?
I'm following the instructions from teknowledge.
This song is from an Nonesuch LP from the '70's. I wish it were still in print. "Songs of Henry Clay Work." Yes, you can google up the Nonesuch catalog number, etc., but it's not available anywhere.
