I was reading William Blake's Jerusalem (which is where the title for the movie Chariots of Fire comes from - not 2 Kings, though Blake obviously took the phrase from the Bible) today and found myself doing what I always do when I look up a Blake poem: reading more. He has been one of my favorites for quite some time. I wish there were more poets like him. Totally awesome poets who are also totally awesome artists. That would just be so totally awesome. But there aren't, so there's just him, but that's ok, I guess.
This is the first Blake poem I ever read, and I still think it is one of his best.
