It is a little de-mystifying the modern version would be with a laptop with a graphics program on it. Blakes poetry was far better than his drawing

The painting makes me think of the common answer when anybody is asked to describe their own image of God; He looks like an old man with a long beard.

The painting shows great colours to represent the strong energy released by God when at work. Blake also seem to show from his painting that this power is gentle, wise, and breaks through darkness.

I haven't read him since college, which was a while ago, but I used to love his poetry. Thanks for reminding me of his existence. Amazing how you can lost touch with things that have great meaning for you:-) Wasn’t it Blake who said “all religions are one?” I haven’t read him since college, which was a while ago, but I used to love his poetry.

The name may come from "You Reason" or "Your Reason", i.e., the accepted wisdom of the age; or from the Greek horizein, "to set limits"; or, conceivably, from both equally. Not a benevolent character, Urizen oppresses Orc, who embodies revolutionary passion and creativity, and who serves as a suffering saviour figure. He is also an enemy of Luvah, the spirit of love". I've got Ackroyd's biog of Blake, am looking forward to reading it. Urizen
