"Bring me my bow of burning gold:
Bring me my arrows of desire:
Bring me my spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire."

Tiger Tiger blurry blight
Off the course he’s a drunken sight
What impaired hand or eye
Dare frame his car’s symmetry

Dead Man(Ölü Adam)
Dead Man’de Nobody, iki dünya arasında kalmış biridir. Ailesi öldürülür, beyazlarca büyütülür, halkınca dışlanır. Blake’e “zaten ölüsün” der; onu ölümün bir geçiş olduğu son yolculuğa götürür.

I started working on this piece when Clown Town came out last 9/11 and forgot about it until I started rewatching the series again.

"William Blake’s “dark Satanic mills” of the industrial revolution may have enslaved the bodies of Victorian citizens, but information technology is a pure mindfuck." - #SteelyDan

"The Eternal Body of Man is The IMAGINATION, that is God himself, the Divine Body ...
Prayer is the Study of Art Praise is the Practise of Art ...
The Whole Business of Man Is
The Arts & All Things Common ..."

When we consume joy, it forfeits its immortality. When joy consumes us, we forfeit our death; for the joy we’ve joined will persist in making its rounds, like dawn, public transportation, the solstice, and the generations to come.

I give you the end of a golden string;
Only wind it into a ball,
It will lead you in at Heaven’s gate,
Built in Jerusalem’s wall.
