[MD] Philip Pullman on William Blake

[Ian Glendinning]

Hi folks
Thought I'd share this 2005 piece - since I thought it was such a good read.

Primarily on Blake, but plenty of James too. Couldn't help thinking
his use of the words love, joy and delight (in the seven axioms
towards the end) could so easily be "quality". This phrase "things
arise from matter-in-love-with matter that are not themselves matter"
put me instantly in mind of Pisrig's magnet and iron filings.

(I already blogged some other thoughts here
http://www.psybertron.org/?p=4697 but it's a recommended read anyway,
whatever you think of my thoughts.)
