I am currently beginning the biography of William Blake, a romantic poet. My sister use to read some of his poems to me as a kid, but i was always more intrested in the pictures that Blake had drawn to show his poems. It was only after I started to understand the alienation that he felt from his family even if they did love him he knew himself to be different mentaly. I understand that feeling when all you do seems to be wrong and no one understands your actions or the reasons behind why you act stupid from time to time. The constant attention you pay to the people around you trying to figure out why they act like they do, and how you wear a mask to get them to show different sides of thier personalities to you when you only crack jokes then turn a cold shoulder when you act how you act with people close to you. William Blake has been a huge influnnce on my own thoughts because he  made it, even with his eccentries.
