    In 1803, the small English seaside village of Felpham was swollen with soldiers assigned to keep watch on the coast—there were fears of Napoleon invading. One August evening, had a fateful encounter with one of those soldiers: John Schofield. (1/x)

    Jacob’s Ladder (Genesis 28) by “And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.”

    Happy Birthday to Langston Hughes, who wrote one of my favourite all time poems. A timeless classic, which speaks to me more today, than ever before

    Story of supernatural events during a holiday that lead a flawed man to a series of epiphanies, which make him a better person. Featuring songs, dance, meditations on suicide, and unrequited love. Theme: community and charity over selfishness and “doing it alone.”

    , curiously, would not spell “Schofield” consistently—he deliberately misspelled it six different ways across his works! (6/6)

    , however, would never forget the incident and it would feature over and over again in his subsequent poetry. We know what Schofield looks like because Blake made him a villain in his works—he’s on the far right in this *Jerusalem* plate, in chains.

    The enraged soldier accused Blake of saying “Damn the King!” —a very serious charge. Schofield convinced a fellow soldier (who wasn’t there) to back up his claim. While the evidence was laughable, the case went to trial and Blake was acquitted to cheers in the audience. (3/x)

    Schofield has a reputation as a bully and a drunk. He wandered into Blake’s garden (almost certainly inebriated) and refused to leave. Blake caught the soldier at the elbows, behind the back, and marched the sodden soldier back to the inn he’d been billeted in. (2/3)

    I’ll end with this egg-like image himself created in his *Milton,* naming many key figures. (10/fin) “But in the midst of these, Is built eternally the Universe of Los and Enitharmon: Towards which Milton went, but Urizen oppos'd his path."

    In a letter, ST Coleridge wrote that Blake “is a man of Genius [...] verily I am in the very mire of common-place common-sense compared with Mr. Blake, apo- or rather anacalyptic Poet.” “Anacalyptic” is a nice coinage—“against” rather that “separate.” (9/x)

    Third, did not see a need to make his difficult works accessible: “What is grand is necessarily obscure to weak men. That which can be made explicit to the idiot is not worth my care.”

    Take for instance the female character of Enitharmon. SF Damon notes how much different she functions across different prophetic works. (7/x)

    Second: the characters of Blake’s myths are not stable or consistent—their history and personalities and associations shift from one work to another. They function like actors in a repertory more than fixed persons. (7/x)

    ’s Book of Urizen and Book of Los both give different versions of creation, but they both “rhyme” in key ways—fitting together not like pieces of a puzzle but juxtaposed contraries. (5/x)

    This isn’t quite as strange as it might seem at first blush—retelling the same event with variations of who/what/when. Think, for instance, of how the four Gospels tell the same story yet with marked differences—or the two variations of creation in Genesis. (4/x)
