I spent all day yesterday (Thursday 22 May) at the Blake exhibit. If you
have the opportunity to see it, you _cannot_ afford to miss it. And don't
forget the companion exhibit (2nd floor): "The Visionary Company: Blake's
Contemporaries and Followers", which includes many original Blakes as well
as fine works by Palmer, Linnell, Barry, Fuseli, and others.
Per Susan Reilly's instructions; I can't speak as to _your_ travelling
companions, but allow yourself at least one full day, with time for lunch
and coffee breaks, for this exhibit. It is soul-stirring; it is incomparable.

This is the absolute truth, which God loves or would love if there were One.
The delicacy of Blake's work stands out, esp. given the miniature dimensions
of much of his work, esp. the Songs. The engravings and the variant
coloring of copies of his books are exquisite up close and personal.
Particularly striking in much of Blake's art is the pen/ink work which
delineates his figures apart from the coloring. I am much more a verbal
than a visual person, but there's no doubt there's much that separates
viewing of the originals from reproductions, not to mention the naked text
apart from the artwork.
I hope to write up an excruciatingly personal and detailed report, but for
now I can't refrain from expressing my indescribable exaltation and profound
gratitude to William Blake for having lived so long and putting out the nut
to create joy and beauty for the children of many future ages.
Excess of sorrow laughs! Excess of joy weeps!

Dear Ralph,
My comment on travelling companions was meant to be humourous :)
But truly, as you say, a day is not too long to spend at this exhibit,
if you can afford the time! An hour on the Gray alone would not be
excessive.
I do think your idea of chronicling the exhibition is an excellent one,
as the catalogue gives, necessarily, a minimum of information and does
not cover the entire exhibit in any case.
Did you notice the little pencil markings on the Gray poems, which Mrs
Flaxman, I think, placed on the text at the lines she had instructed
Blake to illustrate? They barely show up in the catalogue. There's
much to report on that will be of interest to the list, I'm sure.

Thanks to everyone, and especially Susan and Ralph, who responded to my
query about the Yale Blake exhibit! You about have me convinced that it's
worth a $200 plane ticket to go! I must say I was expecting to get flamed
for my remarks about Paul Mellon, but if you read about the Armandhammer
collection (including the Leonardo da Vinci codex that Bill Gates bought)
and his reputation you can appreciate Paul Mellon's generosity and
humanitarian spirit. I urge any interested people to read his autobiography
Reflections in a Silver Spoon. It's fascinating.

Why, how unprogressive of him! How CONVENTIONAL, Mister Blake! Or maybe,
once again, he's using a Trojan horse for his own subversive messages...?
Don't you think the Evil Angel in "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" is a
kind of left-handed, IMPULSIVE "Hermes", as W.H. Auden might describe him,
compared to the rigid, right-handed Apollo (Blake's Urizen?) in "Under
Which Lyre, A Reactionary Tract for the Times"?
But then, maybe that analogy is too *flash in the pan*.......

Well... although he hadn't developed "Zoas", Los, Enitharmon, and Orc got
created there. Tharmas... can't find him offhand. They could have used a
little compassion in the Olden Days, couldn't they? There's definitely a
sense of supra-human above the newly created... primordial world, isn't
there? Fuzon is around, at the end.

Jim Watt:
I still am wondering why it is necessary for later Blake appreciators to
keep the Zoas in their respective realms. Talk about "The Divided Self"...
I've heard of Bromion's quarter, for instance, and can only think of
William James, a one-time painter who kept his artistic sense of NOT
reducing things in his psychology. Like Blake, his work is
cross-disciplinary. I believe that was part of my point about showing his
frustration with one point of Freud's... that in saying it's THIS, Freud
may reductively be denying that it could also be more than THAT, if "that"
at all! The mere tip of an iceberg...
I also wonder why, again talking in mere "earth" terms, we need to
differentiate so much between rocks, air, fire, water. I mean, they are
marvellous Platonic (? oh my God! No, not inventions from Priam's War's
times???) idealistic separations, but the idea I had was that of the sun
burning water, turning it into air, smoothing over rocks, getting pummelled
into sand...
As far as the later prophecies, some of Jim Watt's words made me smile...
>...troublesome obscurity and excessive (some would say, obsessive)
>particularity.
As far as the Zoas, Jim notes:
>But they are NEVER reductively these things. In fact, they
>CAN'T be; for, when they are so 'framed' or 'constituted,' they disappear.
But it's only when we "frame" things that they become art to view, isn't
it? A conundrum. I want to communicate, but as soon as I do, it SHATTERS
into... a mere spectre of my muse? Perhaps it becomes: "That is not what I
meant at all!", as T.S. Eliot once said.
========
By the way, is it true that the drip watering system was developed in
Israel after 1945? If so, brings new meaning to "Where man is not, nature
is barren." Now THERE is a poem...
========
>In exactly the sense in which I disappear if you construe me to be this
>combination of diction and syntax, either essentially or elementally.
Well... I DO love semiotics and deconstruction. But they're just tools.
Reinvention, in terms of my own *experience*, is something Blake would
probably admire as a tool, don't you think? No, it's not my spectre that is
reading this. And you haven't "disappeared" as I try to create a dialogue.
But notice how I pick and choose. What do I abnegate, in order to focus on
other parts? Why?
>.....the idea is taken, self-evidently, to be the "essence."
The "idea". The idea that you sent out as a paper airplane. The one that I
received, looked at, tried to throw around my room in Boston... pondered...
wondered what it meant....... to me..... based on my own experiences...
never having met you... never having seen your lips move or your body
language. I've been told by some that I'm too self-confident. Others think
I'm funny. Hey, I'm just living my life! Born with a different face!
Although I could "pass" for a normal white guy, at times...
>What is even funnier (although tragic in its

Ah, you mean the chicken scratches of words or pictures, like Shakespeare
writing of his youth, saying that THERE at least he's still young???
>Of course that's nonsense!
But it's also ART!
>So here we have YOUR reasoning power re-constructing ME to fit its
>needs or whims or principles or desires (yes, Urizen has desires).
But what about my Los? It's my *imaginative* reinvention, like Blake had
for The Bible, Greek myths. Someone in this group... Randall Hughes... is
putting together a Blake Web-Site enclyclopedic source. I INSISTED that
mine be called "creative", not "critical" interpretation!
>And the
>better 'job' I do of this, the less able are YOU (the real, essential, 4-fold
>you!) to see me, hear me, touch me or feel me.
Tragic, isn't it? And to think the song you're making a pun off of is sung
by a deaf, dumb, and blind boy.
>Now this "Reasoning Power" is not, in itself, bad, or sin...
Oh, absolutely not! But Blake and "reasoning power"? Yes, that's a part of
it... it's also a suspension thereof! I find some of his metaphors
beautiful, some of them repugnant, but when they work, it's because they
speak to my HEART when I (mis?)interpret them!
>That's me. That minute particular. And that's you. And Jennifer. And Pam.
>And Tom Dillingham. And Bert Stern.
And then there's the space between us. A rainbow, in which, Derrida's
excessiveness negated, I appreciate the thought that there is more than the
sum of our parts. The paper airplane which you threw out (and which some
may misconstrue as your spectre?), and that I now return in "dialogue",
is... complex, and means more (or less!) than you or I intended for either
of us or for this group to ponder.
>The thing is, we live in a world that puts ideas ahead of people --and
>ducks. It is not happy world, though everything necessary for happiness is
>here --and given.
Who declares that? You, or Blake? Sometimes I'm happy. Sometimes I'm not.
It's always been that way, even before Urizen crashed into the scene,
breaking up the ignorance of the Dark Ages. (St. Augustine, anyone?)
However, to counter-punch William Blake's "Art is the tree of life. God is
Jesus. Science is the tree of death" engraving around the Laocoon (talk
about separating the Zoas!):
This is four-fold vision DEAD, on Blake's part. Jesus was... an artist,
folks??? Talk about creating a man in his own image!
>The Zoas have all their own weaknesses.
Absolutely. And all have their strengths. Just like the "humans" in this
Blake On-Line group!
>I want Beethoven as well as Chopin and I want Blake as well as
>the Beatles.
And can't you HEAR aspects of one in the others, at times?

I find the intellectual laziness of many people who rely on "experts" to
tell them what they think of people like Blake over the Internet, and then
jot it down with.... what?... a reference to an e-mail posting?... or a Web
Page instead of at least a printed book, preferably with a University of
California, Wisconsin, or... some other great pedigree... to be appalling.
I'm constantly being hit up to give neat little "answers" to poetry and
novel questions, undoubtedly tied up with a nice bow that can't be undone
(because they haven't the imagination to do it!), which will undoubtedly be
plagiarized, botched up... I often throw curve balls, in response.
>From what little I know of the subject... (from Emerson's point of view,
check out _Emerson, The Mind on Fire_ by Richardson), Dickinson was
influenced by him. I think, however, that she got her own definition of a
"true" poem from within. As quoted by Stephen Mitchell in _The
Enlightenned Heart, An Anthology of Sacred Poetry_, she said "If I feel
physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry."
And, like Blake's own unique attitudes toward his art, I think you'd hear a
strong defense in this method by both Emerson and, later, by William James.
Let a thousand flowers grow.
I also don't underestimate the power of people to relate directly to
poetry, and to exchange through the Internet their views. I have grown a
great deal from Blake On-Line. Many of my Web Pages are refabulations of
original posts that I placed here. (Don't worry, folks. I DON'T plagiarize!
Merely kansei engineer in response to your critiques!) It's a great testing
ground, and mere "opposition" can toughen you up.
"Little lamb, who made thee?"
Gee, I just don't know! You could passively accept what others have already
decreed on the subject. In Blake's masterpiece, "The Marriage of Heaven and
Hell", he has some pretty scathing remarks about *that* kind of non-active
reading.

Monsieur, of course Jesus is an artist, the grandest grand master of
life itself. "The whole business of man is the arts".
It is all very well to talk about painting and such but it is also useful to
remember that life is the point of it all. You dont experience your own
existence behind a desk. It is only when we act -and make
significant choices- that we relate to our own existance. The integrity
of Jesus and Blake is such that it makes you cry, and is really the
greatest artwork of all. Only a profound story-teller would say
something like: "Suffer the little children to come unto me."

David, I'd really like to hear other Blakeans comment on how Blake
impinges on real issues. Milton's `cloistered virtue' passage is very often
quoted to rouse peolpe to real action in real circumstances and I'm sure
there is vast scope - as an extra-literary, extra-academic, but very valid
spiritual, exercise for applying Blake in real circumstances.
I went to Durban to lecture last week, and while lecturing on "London",
suggested that the last stanza could imply that London is like Babylon ,
the Whore, rather than like the holy City of Jerusalem in Eternity , which
one encounters in the longer poems. I met with very enthusiastic
response when the whole discussion turned to what it means to build
Jerusalem here and now .. in the midst of students trashing the campus
to gain free education and accommodation , now seen as a right owing
to some students having been disadvantaged in the past. Many thought
the ideas voiced were dangerous to discuss openly (yet insisted on
going ahead and doing so) -- as they once were under Apartheid - and
that newly won freedoms were being eroded again by a small minority of
students.
Amazingly, it was owing to widespread knowledge of Rastafarianism,
that the whole JErusalem-Babylon debate met with full response, even
from first year students.

Kathy,
Funny you should ask. My wife, Emily Hubley made this film, which
was finished in 1988. We worked together on the storyboard. Blake Ball
includes quotations from Marriage of Heaven and Hell, Vala, Milton and
Jerusalem. There are also numerous visual quotes from a variety of Blake
paintings and plates. The film attempts loosely to correlate the Nine
Nights of Vala with the nine innings in a baseball game. The movie starts
with Creation (Urizen drops his compass/mitt, which becomes the
ball field...) and then goes through Experience, Revolution, Sea of
Time and Space, and finally Return to Eternity. There is a lot of
trouble between Los and Urizen, until Albion rises in the bottom of the
eighth inning....
There is a study guide for the film, but I guess Pyramid Films didn't
send you one. I could try to dig one up and pass it along.
If anyone in the NY area is interested in seeing Blake Ball on film,
Emily will be having a showing of many of her movies at the Museum
of Modern Art on December 19 and then a few days in January of '98.

Prompted by this announcement, I decided to check out the Romantic Circles

This leads me to the following question. I found two papers from the NASSR
'96 conference I would like to get my hands on. Is there any chance the
conference papers are going to get published?
The papers that interest me are:
"Retroactivating the Past: Prophetic Cognition in Blake and Coleridge"
(Thomas Pfau);
"Blake, Reynolds, and the Aesthetics of Race" (Paul Youngquist).

Blake subscribers: Please don't respond to spam on the list, particularly by
hitting the "reply button". Like many Internet servers, Albion.com has been
hit hard by the latest wave of spamming software which automatically extracts
email addresses (including the Blake addresses) from web pages. I've taken
steps to prevent my mailing lists from being "contaminated", and I'll be
taking additional steps as part of an anti-spam security review.
