	William Blake's Relevance to the Modern World
		Blake published "London" in his book Songs of Experience, which he usually published with the Songs of Innocence in a combined work called Songs of Innocence and Experience.
		As "London" shows, however, Blake did not entirely approve of the measures taken to forward the causes he longed to advance: "London" refers to how the "hapless Soldier's sigh/ runs in blood down Palace walls" ("London" 791).
		Blake also believes that the religion of this world is actually the worship of the entity that St. Paul calls "the god of this world" in II Corinthians 4:4: Satan.

	London's Abandoned Tube Stations
		There are other stations on London Underground that have been abandoned but due to a lack of substantive remains or photographic evidence available, they are not featured on this website:
		They and many other books of historical interest are available from the bookshop at the London Transport Museum in Covent Garden, which should be the first port of call for anyone wanting further information about London's abandoned stations.
		It was originally just a means of doing something constructive with a box of old tube photos re-discovered during a clean out.

		I would normally have taken the Waterloo and City stretch of the tube to the Bank Station but London Underground announced that this had just been closed due to a power surge and a flood of people came out of that part of the station looking for an alternative route to their destination.
		Being a seasoned tube traveller and previously having lived in North London for some 20 years, it was not surprise to hear that the Northern Line was having technical problems.
		Police were at the mouths of every underground station preventing people getting in and providing information for people on how to get to their destinations.

	"Blake" (review by Ann Skea)
		And, although his extensive knowledge of the London of Blake's lifetime sometimes makes this biography seem like a tourist's guide to Blake's London, this is just part of the careful assembly of information that makes the book an invaluable resource for Blake scholars.
		In this realistic biography, Blake's innovative process for printing his writing and his art together (a combination which was essential to his imaginative efforts to "display the infinite" to his fellow beings) is seen to be as much a financial necessity as a stroke of inventive genius.
		And he has shown how the development of Blake's art and poetry was influenced by the work he was obliged to do in order to keep body and soul together.

	William Blake
		William Blake was born in Soho, London on 28 November 1757 and died in London on 12 August 1827.
		Blake bridges a tradition of antinomian dissent which rebelled against the heteronomous imposition of religious law with a growing romantic rebellion against at one and the same time the epistemological reductionism of the eighteenth-century consensus and oppression of imperialistic capitalism.
		In Blake’s story the four Zoas (the beasts of Revelation) are interpreted as the divided categories of body, reason, emotion and imagination, and their re-unification consists of redemption in Eden, for Blake the highest form of existence, a state of active mental struggle.

		His mammoth and controversial biography of Charles Dickens was published in 1990, while his biography of William Blake, published in 1995, avoided the two traditional views of Blake as either a madman or enlightened visionary.
		Not a product of a 'Great Tradition,' suffused with Anglo-Saxon positivism, Ackroyd's 'Cockney visionary' embodies the most profound 'and innately English' transcendental values, 'living for ever in a state of eternity called Albion.' (Peter Ackroyd, English Music (London: Hamish Hamilton, 1992), 358.).

	The Sexton Blake Page
		Blake is checked for a time, all his inquiries and efforts in London defeated by the Confederation, whose tentacles extend not just across England but also the Continent, from the lowest dock bar to the highest of high society; even Blake's disguises do him no good.
		(Blake was a patriot through and through, though, and always remained faithful to Queen/King and Country.) During the War he was mostly busy stopping both German spies and madmen intent on gassing London and kidnaping P.M.s, but he did spend some time in the Low Countries in disguise, engaging in some guerrilla work.
		Blake served every kind of leader and client, from the very small (he was hired to save a "Highland laird" who was falling prey to alcoholism) to the very large (the P.M., concerned over Red Agitators, granted Blake "all powers over all and sundry of our subjects whatsoever" for twenty-four hours on 11 January 1925).

	Blake Hall tube station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Blake Hall tube station is a closed London Underground station in Essex, between North Weald and Ongar.
		The station subsequently became known as the least used on the entire Underground (not surprisingly, as it was located a considerable distance from any settlement).
		It was first opened by the Eastern Counties Railway on 1 April 1865, serving principally as a goods station taking agricultural produce from the nearby farms into central London.
