Ellis and I had finished our big book on the philosophy of William Blake, I felt that we had no understanding of this poem: we had explained its details, for they occur elsewhere in his verse or his pictures, but not the poem as a whole, not the myth, the perpetual return to the same thing; not that which certainly moved Blake to write it …. Instead, these critics advise Blake scholars to valorize the obstructions to this completion embedded within the texts themselves by way of deliberate catachresis and a variety of other visual and verbal strategies designed to thwart any semblance of significatory or narrative closure.	cache/blake-281.htm	txt/blake-281.txt
