 English poet, painter, printmaker and philosopher  Considered the father of anarchy  “I must create a system, or be enslav’d by another man’s. I will not reason and compare: my business is to create”

 The Argument.  Rintrah roars & shakes his fires in the burden'd air; Hungry clouds swag on the deep Once meek, and in a perilous path, The just man kept his course along The vale of death. Roses are planted where thorns grow. And on the barren heath Sing the honey bees.  Then the perilous path was planted: And a river, and a spring On every cliff and tomb; And on the bleached bones Red clay brought forth.  Till the villain left the paths of ease, To walk in perilous paths, and drive The just man into barren climes.  Now the sneaking serpent walks In mild humility. And the just man rages in the wilds Where lions roam.  Rintrah roars & shakes his fires in the burden'd air; Hungry clouds swag on the deep.
