ABSTRACT
Blake is fully aware of how difficult it is to maintain vision. Contact with innocents can afford us flashes of insight in which the distinctions between subject and object, self and other fall away, and in which man's creative powers are revealed as divine. But moments of this sort are hard to retain or prolong. They quickly dissolve with the return of adult or experienced habits of mind that obscure any sense of unity of inter-relation, and restrict our imaginative capacities.
