    Today I came across the Blake Society and their website, and these wonderful recordings of his unique poetry and lithographs. He was quite a revolutionary man. I expect he thought rather highly of Benjamin Franklin.

    Read beautifully by Jane Boston. Thankfully without the amateur dramatics found on so many of the other recordings. Has Jane recorded any other of William Blakes Poem's ?

      @@cawiltu I honestly don't know why I said that. I must have been drunk or something. Blake certainly illustrated and I honestly knew that when I made the comment. Maybe I was making some dumb clumsy point about his other talents and general passion? Embarrassing comment anyway lol.
