Sorry, I keep thinking about this plate! It depicts Newton and a vision for physical laws... but all in such stark contrast to the luscious complexity and micro-fractal nature of the boulder and life (and ants!) he sits above... missing something key in the vision, perhaps?

Just one more note about Blake inspired by rabbit hole triggered by his 1790's poem about a lost mother of ants... he was apparently moved by equality, abhorred slavery, endless wars, materialistic worldviews, and any revolution that simply replaced monarchy with irresponsible mercantilism! 🐜

I will definitely be reading more about Enitharmon, for so so so many reasons, but including her being queen of heaven, born of sexual problems to dominate men, mother of revolution, and representing what cannot be found within nature! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enithar...

Though perhaps Los is a better character fit for physiologists, representing the divine aspect of imagination, but also creating life and described as a smith, 'beating with his hammer on a forge, metaphorically connected to the beating of the human heart; the bellows of his forge are the lungs.'

One of Blake's other artworks should be familiar to my fellow comparative physiologists, from the cover of Lighton's book on measuring metabolic rates, depicting Urizen, one of a set of imagined mythological figures who created the world with reason and laws, only to be tormented and later fall...

Agree! Those conversations haunt me like nothing else… so many people thought it was ok to attack a hospital… but there is NO ethical reason to do that ever, period!
