Blake Books
for G. E. Bentley, Jr.
Galeotto fu ’l libro e chi lo scrisse . . .
—Inferno V.
. . . Men who occupied the sixth chamber, and took
the forms of books & were arranged in libraries.
—THE MARRIAGE of HEAVEN and HELL [Pl. 15]
My great work of words would be
A work willing others, a bibliography
And every man-cum-book in Blake’s library
I’d have be a man, and die, and be free
