...PS. I have this morning been reading a strange publication--viz. Poems with very wild and interesting pictures, as the swathing, etched (I suppose) but it is said--printed and painted by the Author, W. Blake. He is a man of Genius--and I apprehend, a Swedenborgian--certainly, a mystic emphatically. You perhaps smile at my calling another Poet, a Mystic; but verily I am in the very mire of common-place common-place compared with Mr Blake, apo- or rather anacalyptic Poet, and Painter!
