An Island in the Moon by William Blake

I’ll have one of whatever Mr. Blake was having when he wrote this. Farcical and nonsensical throughout, yet with brief splashes of thought provoking discourse, Blake was definitely on a different plane of thought while writing this one. A short and oft-humorous piece; it’s a damn shame the entire work wasn’t preserved.

I’ll leave you with my favorite lines, spoken by two of the philosopher characters:

“The trumpeter shit in his hat,” said the Epicurean.
“––& clapt it on his head,” said the Pythagorean.

Satire, macht sich über eine Zeit und Zeitgenossen lustig, die ich nicht kenne.
