William Blake despised the State, and believed it's mission was to crush the soul of man.
Whether it be the state of Government, or the State-sanctioned Church, he believed that every man should create his own system, or be enslaved by another's. As a child, he saw angels in the trees in London's parks, and he conversed with angels for the whole of his life. But nothing enraged him more than the brutality of State toward the individual. How ironic then that the top private schools (where future leaders are shaped) should have adopted the lyrics of Blake's Preface To Milton (now named 'Jerusalem') where they sing it as a nationalistic paen to a faux-conservative Brittania - and whose ancestors themselves forged the very 'dark, Satanic mills' that so offended Blake.
Blake was never recognised in his time, but anyone who values art and liberty should celebrate his eternal spirit!
Music by the Verve, recitations by Mark Rylance, Derek Jacobi, and some other guy I've forgotten the name of - animation from the 1970's London Tate William Blake Exhibition. Oh, and some footage by that 1960's documentary about hidden London, with James Mason.

Carl Jung's The Red Book is considered to be the most influential unpublished work in the history of psychology.
When Carl Jung embarked on an extended self-exploration he called his confrontation with the unconscious, the heart of it was The Red Book, a large, illuminated volume he created between 1914 and 1930. Here he developed his principle theories—of the archetypes, the collective unconscious, and the process of individuation—that transformed psychotherapy from a practice concerned with treatment of the sick into a means for higher development of the personality.
While Jung considered The Red Book to be his most important work, only a handful of people have ever seen it. Now, in a complete facsimile and translation, it is available to scholars and the general public. It is an astonishing example of calligraphy and art on a par with The Book of Kells and the illuminated manuscripts of William Blake. This publication of The Red Book is a watershed that will cast new light on the making of modern psychology.
