Blake was not mad; because of his visions they called him mad and said the man is mad, because he spoke of what mortal eyes could not see - yet the same people who called him mad read the Bible, whose visions could no more be photographed than his: no cameraman could have photographed Isaiah's vision of the Lord upon his throne. Blake, unable to photograph his visions, had the talent to draw them, and in the frontispiece of Songs of Experience he drew a child coming out of a man's head, forming as it were an egg - and they said he was mad. Neville applies the charge to himself: what I have told you tonight is mad, but it is more true than anything I have ever told you.
