William Blake
Blake
nature
Engraver, poet and visionary who built his own mythology — Urizen, Los, Luvah, Tharmas, the Four Zoas — and printed it himself, image and text bitten into the same plate.
⭐⭐ FOUR ZOAS, FOUR WORLDS: a fourfold cosmos of divided faculties that must be reunited is the Lurianic shape, arrived at by a Londoner who read Böhme and Swedenborg and no Hebrew at all. He also solved the wing's technical problem: he made the picture and the word the same object.

I must create a system, or be enslaved by another man's.
