Thank you for this. Here's a Blake quote written on a postcard by Robert Crumb, who invented the Underground Comix genre: "Without Unceasing Practice, nothing can be done. Practice is Art. if you leave off you are Lost." This is why, when nobody's looking and there's no point and no hope, we keep on working.

He did the smart thing in the pursuit of engraving and keeping what he wrote,drew and painted away from🇬🇧.
They'd've lost their collective empty, superstitious,normie heads and hurt that man to unaliving.
Seems he knew who else he was dealing
w/on that playing field
