She also said, when asked about his personal hygiene, "Mr. Blake don't
dirt!" And how could he, when he was so often in paradise?

Hahah! Then i guess i'm doing something right!
Blake up, bareners, it can't hurt!
There are actually hundreds of large files and small ofhis work
at this wondrous site- u can d/l and save them for inspiration.
or print one out for study, or hang it in your bathroom and scare
guests...

Hey, guys, if I gave anyone the idea that Willie would have taken
credit for ALL the work and not give Catherine her due, that was not my
intention. He was a very enlightened gentlemen, in every sense of the
word. Any lack of credit given to Ms. Blake would have been at the
hand of later publishers.

Thanks for straightening me out on Wanda's comment - I was wondering
where in the world those furry creatures had come from - LOL You go
Wanda! My buddy :-)

Cheers!

Before being too judgmental concerning William Blake's treatment of his wife
one must view it in the context of the 18th century when he lived. The place
of women in society was a far cry from what we consider normal today.
