Did you know he founded the neo-Druid movement in England? Most people, because of that poem, assume he was a Christian his whole life.

Aye, I knew he was a Druid. [img]smile.gif[/img] So was William Butler Yeats. Read "The Crucifixion of the Outcast" sometimes if you can find a copy; it's harrowing, but telling, about the systematic destruction of the druids (well, one particular bardic druid at least) by the powers of Rome.
I've always thought it would be very interesting to set an AD&D campaign in a Blakeian (sp?) world, complete with Orc, Urizen, and all the other angelic and demonic Powers. And, of course, the Tyger.
