Morton N. Cohen alludes heavily to Carroll's ownership of a large majority of Blake's works. I'm particularly interested to find out whether he owned James Jon Garth Wilkinson's first letterpress edition of 'Songs of Innocence and of Experience'. Given Carroll's friendship group he would have been operating in roughly the same social circles as JJGW at the time, or so i'm led to believe. My thanks to anyone who can answer his question for me.

]]> Comment on Zoapod 8: Blake’s Poems – London by Loriana http://zoamorphosis.com/2010/03/zoapod-8-blakes-poems-london/comment-page-1/#comment-9055 Loriana Tue, 10 Jan 2012 21:50:03 +0000 http://zoamorphosis.com/?p=782#comment-9055 The interpretation is full of historical insights that might be useful to understand the underlying concept of „London”. A vertical and horizontal movement is also visible in Blake’s poem. Charted street and charted Thames, both literally and metaphorically, suggest horizontal movement. Flowing of the river is simultaneous with wandering of the lyrical subject that moves (horizontally) along the river. Horizontal movement is an imprisonment - the tunneling of feelings, sounds, emotion in one direction and a metaphor for trying to gain control over the uncontrollable (like river – element of nature). This ordered, horizontal movement is emphasized by the repetition of anaphors –“In every cry of…/In every Infants…/In every voice: in every ban…”. This unnatural order is imposed by the mind hence “the mind-forg’d manacles”. The wanderer must also perceive London from a different perspective since the phrase “I hear “ is often mentioned. The lyrical subject must be beyond the charted streets, must have transcended the horizontal dimension and thus has a different (complete?) vision over London. This itself offers an indirect consolation that it is possible to overcome the tormenting state presented in the poem and achieve a different state of consciousness. I do not agree that there is no alternative, no innocence in “London”. Let’s take the figures on the plate. The man on the plate is stooped because of the overwhelming experience while the boy guiding him is erect. The boy embodies innocence that guides the experience to the light. The boy and the old man symbolize a circle in which innocence and experience form a state of completeness.

]]> Comment on How Much Did Jim Morrison Know about William Blake? by mcfirefly http://zoamorphosis.com/2011/03/how-much-did-jim-morrison-know-about-william-blake/comment-page-1/#comment-5995 mcfirefly Fri, 23 Sep 2011 01:50:14 +0000 http://zoamorphosis.com/?p=3212#comment-5995 I used to talk to Jim when I was a child. I don't know how much Jim knew about Blake, but he took Blake seriously. He used to talk about and quote Blake as a teenager, early out of high school, in spring and summer of 1961. Although I don't remember what he said, he must have been reading him quite a bit in school. Contrary to the occultic rock-god image of Jim (and quite a few of the "facts" repeated in books about him), he was a serious  young man, although with a wonderful sense of humor. I trusted Jim when I was in my teens that he was my kind of person, basically serious about God and about life and its possibilities, and that we agreed on what was not acceptable, with the exception that Jim was overthrowing faith in God and I was seeking to have it back. I believe he had too much faith in the world, but he was raised to believe the system worked for good, and in spite of the evidence knowing things about the system said otherwise, he wanted to believe in the world. I hope that in his later life in witness protection, which is where he is, he will reconsider and compare the lies of this world with the truth of God, who sent His Son to die for us.

Thank you for an inspiring comment which brought my attention to the relationship between literature and education. I often feel these two have several things in common: dealing with words, facing human beings, studying human heart, in other words, teachers must make friends with "chaos" as Blake and Dickens did. Kazuko My dear Fatin!
