Shine On, You Crazy Diamond
William Blake is one out-there cat—we mean gone, daddio. He's so unique that he makes us break out in late '50s beatnik slang just to describe him. Like all visionaries, though, you know it's him when you read his work. The Marriage of Heaven and Hell isn't the only work of his to feature his unique gumbo of art, politics, religion, wild imagery, and proverbs. For more of the same, check out both his Songs of Innocence and Experience, or Milton.
