I couldn't resist another #BlakeFriday post, just to stretch it a bit.

With #folklore head on (as I usually do), I should also note with delight that the late Gareth Thomas was apparently very fond of expressing surprise with the phrase 'Well pass me my brass-bound buggery box'.

Which really needs to be used more widely, I think.

O Winter! bar thine adamantine doors:
The north is thine; there hast thou built thy dark
Deep-founded habitation. Shake not thy roofs
Nor bend thy pillars with thine iron car.

He hears me not, but o’er the yawning deep
Rides heavy; his storms are unchain’d, sheathed
In ribbed steel; I dare not lift mine eyes;
For he hath rear’d his scepter o’er the world.

To Winter - William Blake

@onlyindevon I had no idea #BlakeFriday was a thing and I love it

I so love @onlyindevon's #BlakeFriday tag, so here is your regular reminder:

Poetry Fetter'd Fetters the Human Race

If #BlakeFriday is to be a thing, surely it needs to feature #Blakes7?

My offering for #BlakeFriday over on the birdsite.

William Blake's "The Ancient of Days" - the frontispiece of "Europe a Prophecy", and an almost unbelievably modern looking piece of art given it was created in 1794.
