Christian?

This source says that he wrote to his patron Thomas Butts:

"Template:Tq"

But, as the source explains, he not believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ. Martinevans123 (talk) 19:26, 22 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

'Blake's sanity was called into question as recently as the publication of the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica, whose entry on Blake comments that "the question whether Blake was or was not mad seems likely to remain in dispute, but there can be no doubt whatever that he was at different periods of his life under the influence of illusions for which there are no outward facts to account, and that much of what he wrote is so far wanting in the quality of sanity as to be without a logical coherence".'

Was not that a polite, but brilliant, way of saying that Blake was as Mad as a Hatter? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C6:27A1:5401:50C0:DD50:3F4:827E (talk) 19:22, 30 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

Yes. Views on mental health were very different in 1911. Martinevans123 (talk) 19:34, 30 May 2025 (UTC)Reply
