I don't claim that Blake does not have meaning, but he is not clear, and one of the signs of intelligence is the ability to clearly communicate. You should meet a few of the people that I know, if you think that psychosis is just a little eccentricity. As I mentioned, Old English was a different language. "Gepeode" means "language".
gepeode? I understood up to there...I think he does have meaning in what he wrote...what I've read of him anyways...and besides, he wouldn't have made history if he didn't have meaning...The name William Blake would have faded a long time ago, wouldn't you agree? And he may or may not have been psychotic, but it didn't hinder his works...maybe he just had an...eccentric way of thinking. Many people could mistake different and odd ways as psychotic if they don't understand, it's easy to believe there's something mentally wrong if you don't understand they are just peculiarly different from the rest.
Aeld Englisc waes afen gežeode. Blake didn't even use especially obsolete language; he simply didn't make aa lot of sense. Shoe people think that he was psychotic, but I don't know.
Well, I still think he has an old english type of writing. eh... Well, my interpretation compared to yours seems a little lame, but here it is: If all meaning were clear, then man would have understanding of everything and anything, or something like that.
Blake was asserting that, if people saw things as the truly are, then everything would appear to be infinite. I think that I agree with Aldous Huxley, who regarded hallucinogenic drugs to be the clear doors of perception. It is also possible that it would be impossible for people to make sense of the world, if there were no restrictions on what people perceived. If humans could see the full spectrum of electro-magnetic radiation, then what would they see? I think that in most places the visible part of the spectrum would overwhelm the rest, except for some maddening noise in the RF area. There would't be much from the UV end, but that might be useful. The IF range would be noisy, and some of it might be useful, but the noise might be too great. So what do you think of opening the doors of perception?
I are what? William Blake (28 November 1757–12 August 1827) Old English??!! Old English went out os use around the middle of the twelvth century CE. I would suggest that you look at the site, and compare it with outher critiquing sites. You might also want to search the internet for information about critiquing site.
hey, what about this William blake quote? "If the doors of perception were cleansed, all would appear to man as it is, infinite." What's your interpretation. ~Luvs, Beau~
It sounds like you are! Well, it is old english.... lol. So...are you suggesting Critters?
No The meaning is not clear,so I do not think that it is well wroded. Ah, yes, the ignoring of works. Many online critiquing sites work only for a group of friends who critique each others' works. I belonged to two before I joined Critters, and I got a total of two comments on those other sites.
Awww..are you pouting? It's worded so well, and yet... I wishI could write as well as he does... eh...they sound the same. Maybe I should check out yours...I have submitted the prologue of my story, but it seems no one reads it. I've only had one person this month look at it...which is not good...
