Dear Mr. Wonderful,
I recently visited a William Blake exhibit at my wife's place of work.
Blake had visions, heard songs - melodies for his poems...
I'm sleepy and I need to go night night, but... Do you think Blake took
drugs? Peyote? Mushrooms? And was he really religious? I can't tell.
Or was he just nuts? I'm confused. And I have to do a project on him
for my poetry class and I need everything verified.
And how come his "tyger tyger burning bright" painting of the tyger
docile, etc? (http://www.blakearchive.org:80/cgi-bin/nph-dweb/blake/Illuminated-Book/SONGSIE/songsie.z/@Generic__BookTextView/10312;cv=java#X)
I just want to smell like a Cinderella flower.
Any ideas on how to meditate and relax?
Thank you SOOOOO much,
Mylachrymal Ducts.

Dear Little Girl Loopy,
Sooooo.... what exactly does a Cinderella flower smell like? Pumpkin
and hot glass?
Just trying to get into the spirit of things.
Mister Wonderful likes to meditate in the shower. I find that it's
easier to clean up afterwards, and the noise of the water masks my
solitary activities. Then there's the hot splash of scented oils
cascading down my tor... *what?* Listen. Meditation means
contemplating the divine - can I help how the divine makes me feel?
Can I help that Miss Yakamoto leaves her glitter shower gel and
scrunchy out?
William Blake never met a scrunchy he didn't like. Nor a divinity. He
was on personal terms with the angels, he was, and not due to morphia or
psilocybin. He just failed to discriminate between what *is* and what
*should be*. Immortal Notions find that very attractive in a mortal,
and tend to flock 'round, whispering sweet nostrums and unreliable Truths.
Blake may seem odd, but consider that he wrote all his poems and
essays, drew the illustrations for them, watercolored them, etched them,
printed them, bound them and distributed the results by himself - all
while being told Jesus was coming to play football for England next year
by a lizard-tongued demi-urge with opalescent rainbow wings. Get it?
The man was establishing the roots of comic book publishing as we know it!
Can you imagine being charged by God to shepherd sacred prophecy *and*
Ninja Turtles? You needn't be doing drugs to have that riffle your
brush a bit.
Although, okay: I admit the Tyger looks like he's just been eating a
little Opie.

Mister Wonderful Recommends: Beautiful women who can write your goddamn
socks off. Arundhati Roy never stops laughing through her tears, never
stops spitting venom in her laughter. Miss Yakamoto ain't bad neither.

"To Extirpate a nation by means of another
is as wicked as to destroy an individual by
means of another individual, which God
considers (in the Bible) as Murder & commands
that it shall not be done."
-William Blake,
