William Blake As Prophet

Some who have studied the poetry and essays of William Blake have suggested that Blake may have been a prophet. This is a pretty wide-open statement but do you believe that Blake may have had prophetic ability?

  1. Hey, Randy, Tom Collette here. Long time no see! I don't know much about Blake but I think that Yeats' "The Second Coming" hits the nail on the head as far as concise prophecy goes.

  2. Hello,

    My name is Crystal Salcido and I am a former student of yours. I know this has nothing to do with the question you pose, and I apologize for that. Still I found this blog and thought I'd take the opportunity to let you know what a profound impact you have made on my educational and now professional career. You gave me, as a high school student, a glimpse into my university experience that I would eventually fall in love with. I graduated with a degree in creative writing and English and American literature. I am passionate about reading and writing and understand the things I see around me. Now I hope pass along some of the same passion you imparted as I try to begin a career in education. Thank you for what you've done....

    I did just read "The Great Divorce," by Lewis and found it to be a unique and provocative look at heaven...
