And casts them out upon the darken'd earth!

CONGRATULATIONS to his closest descendants on being chosen by Poem Hunter and Team as The Classic Poem Of The Day, one day after my first Grandson's BirthDay, Hurray! I am happy truly. God always Blesses us perpetually. Blake was not mad, even Vincent was not mad, of course not to be considered as equals, but their closeness to their own ART is greatest. They had been never mad or insane. They are exceptionals.

Considered MAD by Contemporaries for his most idiotic views and his idiosyncratic views, BUT he is considered a GENIUS after his death. His contemporaries were very JEALOUS, I reckon, that's why.Like in our own time, look at Vincent, the Dutch painter, the eldest son of the head of The Protestant Church, constantly regarded as a clochard, a drunkard, now since decennia WORLD FAMOUS.

Considered mad by contemporaries for his idiosyncratic views, Blake is held in high regard by later critics for his expressiveness and creativity, and for the philosophical and mystical undercurrents within his work. His paintings and poetry have been characterised as part of both the Romantic movement and " Pre-Romantic"
