William Blake (1757-1827) was one of the finest English poets and writers.
He was also a brilliant and unique artist.
Most of all he was a general nonconformist and free spirit.
His work was inspired by a deep and profound spiritual understanding that has inspired many other artists, including Neil Hague who illustrates David Icke's books, see: http://www.neilhague.com/viewpage.php?page_id=1.
He was buried in the famous cemetery, Bunhill Fields in London.
