Why is the genius William Blake rarely mentioned here?

"London"

I wander thro' each charter'd street,
Near where the charter'd Thames does flow.
And mark in every face I meet
Marks of weakness, marks of woe.

In every cry of every Man,
In every Infants cry of fear,
In every voice: in every ban,
The mind-forg'd manacles I hear

How the Chimney-sweepers cry
Every blackning Church appalls,
And the hapless Soldiers sigh
Runs in blood down Palace walls

But most thro' midnight streets I hear
How the youthful Harlots curse
Blasts the new-born Infants tear
And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse

Is there a more disgusting race on the face of the earth than anglos?

Their language, their heritage, their physiology, their culture; all of it is just so repulsive. And there is nothing worse than an anglo writing about england. It's like smesring shit over a plateful of diarrhea.

God, I despise these people and their insult to existence which is their "literary canon".

I am being as serious as a heart attack. I loathe everything that that island has spawned. It repulses me on a physical level.

People love to hate the Anglos, but it’s only because deep down everybody knows we’re the best. You’ll always be inferior, and your rage will never be anything but impotent.

I don't get all the exaggerated anglo hate I see on here. Of course there are some cancerous tendencies to be seen in anglo literature/philosophy etc. but the same goes for frogs and Germans. I see a certain amount of contemptible traits in basically every race/nationality

I'm sorry for what Pedro did to your thread OP, i'm also surprised Blake isn't bigger on here. He and john donne. I think blake might seem daunting and impenetrable for whatever reason, but his musical poetry usually is a joy to read, like the one you posted OP

>SONGS OF INNOCENCE

Piping down the valleys wild,
Piping songs of pleasant glee,
On a cloud I saw a child,
And he laughing said to me:

‘Pipe a song about a Lamb!’
So I piped with merry cheer.
‘Piper, pipe that song again.’
So I piped: he wept to hear.

‘Drop thy pipe, thy happy pipe;
Sing thy songs of happy cheer!’
So I sung the same again,
While he wept with joy to hear.

Piper, sit thee down and write
In a book, that all may read.’
So he vanished from my sight;
And I plucked a hollow reed,

And I made a rural pen,
And I stained the water clear,
And I wrote my happy songs
Every child may joy to hear.

I've always found there to be something deformed and inhuman about continental Europeans. It's hard to put my finger on what it is exactly, but it's often apparent in their physiological characteristics (to say nothing of their ideas) as you can see in that image.

There is something in the German character that frightens me greatly. Its an autistic mind combined with underdeveloped emotional intelligence and a sense of superiority. Any half competent manipulator could convince those people that exterminating a whole continent of people is the right thing to do.

Conversely its equally as easy to turn Germans into a self-destructive mass that will carry out its own destruction for the purpose of greater logical good. This is why Germans cant understand that destroying the entire European economy to save their own will eventually fail or that importing people in millions from Sudan for cheap labor is a bad idea.
