As you can tell I have been on a HUGE William Blake kick recently. I have always loved his work both Art and Poetry.
For those of you who are not familiar with Blake I urge you to do some research... do it right fucking meow. For the lazy type I have compiled a small starting point.
Here are some of his books.

If you are to lazy to look over all of those I recommend starting with
Songs Of Innocence And Of Experience
and
William Blake's Divine Comedy Illustrations
For Art work start here
To learn about the man... the myth.. the legend..
Some of my favorite work of his:
The Body of Abel Found by Adam and Eve, c. 1825. Watercolour on wood
The Ghost of a Flea, 1819–1820. Having informed painter-astrologerJohn Varley of his visions of apparitions, Blake was subsequently persuaded to paint one of them.[106]Varley's anecdote of Blake and his vision of the flea's ghost became well-known.[106]
Nebuchadnezzar
