A Select Study On The Art of William Blake
Where is my Mind?
Without thought, Wherefore mind? Only by kind Is it sought. And thus by mind It is purely wrought, Itself merely a thought.
Contemplation on a Cross
Preciousness of human existence, And its sublime brevity. Cause and consequence in persistence, Universal suffering in severity. Two timbers, one joint, Four points anointed.
More Human Than Human
Human from
Old French humain, from
Latin hūmānus,
the adjectival form of homō
('man' — in the sense of humankind) from
Latin hemō, from
Proto-Italic *hemō from
Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰm̥mṓ (“earthling”) from
Proto-Indo-European *dʰéǵʰōm (“earth”),
1 Corinthians 13
11: When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.
12: For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

Cantus Firmus
Tied to Inner Sea Tides
Those untied Ties they’d seek. Those tied Untied would be.
In Fall
Leaf on wind
attached
no more shall be.
Recognition
as descends,
it was apart
yet part of tree.
Unbound
“Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul,
ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul”
“One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them”
An eternal ring binds the conceptual mind. While In fellowship's might Burns freedom's light. By Middle way found Go those unbound, With abundance, midst dearth Those bound to Middle Earth.
Eye Of Needle
Sutras pierce, Tantric thread. Persistent existence Fabric, Said. One a beat, Other, hum. Sung Since all Time begun.
