Talk:William Blake's mythology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first paragraph of this article is a direct copy of a large part of the William Blake article. While there is more here than is just there, can we delete one of the other? RickK 21:40, Jul 18, 2004 (UTC)

I won't be able to expand this a lot until I get my Blake books and notes out of storage in the next couple weeks. I'd rather it wasn't deleted, though. Bacchiad 22:18, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Right now they only have a sentence or two in common. Bacchiad 22:50, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)
No mention is made of Tirzah in either Tirzah or this article? An omission, or am I getting confused? JamieKeene 14:46, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
"A cruel Old Testament-like god"??? Boy, that's POV if I've ever seen anything that is. . .
- True, it's excessively POV. It's also inaccurate, even for those who do take a dim view of the Old Testament; Urizen's creation of the world in "The Book of Urizen" seems to be done to provide a place for himself after his defeat/exile/imprisonment by the other Eternals; nothing of the sort appears in the Old Testament. Instead it's almost directly parallel to the Gnostic Demiurge's creation of the world after being hidden from the other members of the Pleroma. I went ahead and changed it.Vultur (talk) 05:18, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
If Blake's work is really about a "struggle" between "enlightenment" and "restrictive education," he seems condemned to obscurity. Am I right in calling this "original" research? How about a struggle between total awesomenss and your mean old mom? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.68.128.53 (talk) 19:28, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
