I love Blake's work as well. My favorite is the frontspiece to Songs of Innocence, which shows the child on the long ladder, reaching up to the moon, with the caption "I want."

GORGEOUS! I've always been a fan for his artwork on "The Sick Rose" and "A Poison Tree" as well. Blake is one of my all-time favorite poets. I think that his pairing of poetry and imagery is so incredibly and brilliantly subversive.
I am also reminded here of Hogarth's "A Rake's Progress," though Hogarth was much more literal.
