To really appreciate him you must see the work in context. This means his homebrew illustrations and printing plates not just the text. He’s not the most skilled at either art nor verse but he was DIY in an era where the very idea was preposterous which is what makes him a cool rebel. He would have had a shocking Zine with hand coloured pictures in the 1980s and had the earliest computers to do his layout on.
Mind you he’s still doing this in a time where being heretical is a real concern. It’s not risk free.

I am a germanophile and i love William Blake. Blake is a most sovlful anglo. Blake's best work being Marriage of Heaven and Hell and he was one of the very first instigators of the romantic movement.
Pardon me but was he not just schizophrenic in a time where it wasn't understood? And just happened to be functional enough it was regarded as a quirky personality rather than him ending up in an asylum.

The Masons don't want you to read anything but pomo slop, isekai and porn, and when there is a curious reader capable of becoming a real intellect, they're led down the Jordan Peterman road, the Guonon (whatever his name is) road, the nazis-good road, the tradcath pill road.

Trannies like William Blake though because of the libertine 'free love' tendencies and refusal of traditional roles in his work, trannies love a maverick
Bcuz ppl dont read pic related and so think he's just a lmao so randumb poet from having only read his songs of innocence/experience + marriage.
He's the last great christian prophet. As Frye said, read him or go to hell

English poetry is a joke. It's hideous. After I learned Latin and romance languages I never returned. I'd argue Russian poetry is superior
English is an ugly language. Its a waste. We just pretend to have grand literature to cope.

I think people just find it easier to appreciate poetry in foreign languages. It keeps them engaged, they have to focus on every word. In your native tongue you more or less skim through the commonplace words you've seen a million times.
t. Polack who finds most Polish poetry dull
