Oooh, Blake I had two classes and a lecture dedicated to him this semester, we did both versions of Nurse's Song and Holy Thursday from Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience.

I wish I had a class or lecture about this poem in High School! It was long, but I enjoyed the truths I found while reading Thanks for posting it Joana!

funny how words that were written so long ago in different times can still resonate so loud and clear with us, uh?

Actually my thesis is a biography of a guy who was an official, a diplomat and a bishop in 15th century Poland. And I had no idea of his existence until I had to decide on the topic and of course I couldn't choose anyone thoroughly researched (I also wrote a biography for my BA and it was fun). There's something really modern about him (and he died in 1471!), he was cunning and had quite a temper, which led him into trouble on a number of occasions. And when he died (of a stroke after getting mad too much during the royal council ), the diocese turned out to be in such a debt that there was no money to give him a funeral and they had to borrow it Nothing changes, right? __________________

I am currently reading A Prayer for Owen Meany again just because a whole day goes by sometimes without me opening my book and I know it very well so it's alright. __________________

I guess it still works for poets like Blake and others because they are so hyperbolic that any reference to the religious/holy becomes more about spirituality in various shapes. __________________

From one of my favourite Portuguese Authors, Eça de Queiróz
“(Prayer is) a fictitious consolation invented by those who have everything in order to keep those who have nothing contented. I belong to the bourgeoisie and I know the only reason my class bothers to show the lower classes that distant paradise full of ineffable pleasures that will one day be theirs is to divert attention from their own bulging coffers and from the abundance of their harvests.” "Politicians and diapers should be changed frequently and all for the same reason."
