William Blake

You may have heard of this fellow before. He made a bit of a stir as a poet in the 19th century. The British Library – bless their public-spirited hearts – have put scans of one of Blake’s original notebooks online for all to see.

Really wonderful stuff; it’s great to see how seamlessly he weaved his poetry in with is sketches.
