I'm too crass to appreciate Dante's Inferno, etc. The only Blake I enjoy is Andrew Blake, pornographer extraordinaire!

William Blake (1757-1827) was an English poet, visionary, painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognized during his lifetime, his work is today considered seminal and significant in the history of both poetry and the visual arts.

Is this a dagger which I see before me,
The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee......???

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

We've all been idiots in our lives, somehow or other.
And we have our own share of 'what ifs' and regrets due to our own idiocy.
You're not alone.

I think this thread kena steamroll already.

Blake's Altruism and Shakespearean tragedy is cool but lets not get carried away shall we.

Lets bring forth the stream of thots that will harken the bold strokes of the predefined ponders onto yon once more.

This is so despairing. Where else can us lonely hearts go to converge and share in our sorrows once again?

The forum is so big yet there seems no place for us.
