N2  - 'An intelligent and beautifully written critical interpretation of the poetry and symbolic thought of William Blake....does not become elegiac or obscure, as so many Blake scholars do, nor does he lean on the word 'mysticism' which Blake himself never used in speaking of his work....'  --The New Yorker
