I recently saw a picture on the net of Blake's. I don't know if it was from one of his illuminated books or not. It showed the stars rising from a sea or ocean (sea of time and space?). Does anyone know the title and/or were I can view it at on the internet? It is not the one in mostly brown and wite. This one had a lot of blue in it.

This is the scene illusrated in the painting:

FZ9-138.23; E406| His eyes behold the Angelic spheres arising night & day
FZ9-138.24; E406| The stars consumd like a lamp blown out & in their stead behold
FZ9-138.25; E406| The Expanding Eyes of Man behold the depths of wondrous worlds t1017
FZ9-138.26; E406| One Earth one sea beneath nor Erring Globes wander but Stars
FZ9-138.27; E406| Of fire rise up nightly from the Ocean & one Sun
FZ9-138.28; E406| Each morning like a New born Man issues with songs & Joy
