Blake's imagery transcending time...
So we are reading Visions of the Daughters of Albion and the lines that stuck in my head were:
"Arise, my Theotormon, I am pure:
Because the night is gone that clos'd me in its deadly black."
I really enjoyed this imagery. This powerful use of language allowed images to dance around in my mind. Then I remembered a piece of art I once saw that I think really connects to the lines above.
Night In Day by Thomas Blackshear II

I think this is a great artwork to relate to this whole poem actually. It can be taken a few ways I guess. I look at the painting and see Oothoon covering up her dark time (rape) with a fresh new perspective of bright times ahead.
That was just a quick post with an idea I had.
