>anti-ascetic and less conventionally Christian and more reverse-Gnostic
In Blake, St. Augustine, and Shestov I see the very boundaries of what is considered Christian and all of them individually as forms of Christianity: St. Augustine representing orthodox belief, Blake representing heterodox faith, and Shestov representing the hope of the faithful in the face of an unfeeling, impersonal world (despite not being a Christian in the conventional sense). I don't 100% agree with any of the three thinkers, but all three greatly contribute to my views on Christianity and my own faith. In essence, I see Blake and St. Augustine as two sides of the same coin with Shestov acting as a figure of hope for their reconcilliation.

Assuming we do not count actual religious lit it’s the following.

Dante
William Blake
Milton
Swinburne
Dunsany/Spenser

Dante and Blake are the only poets with the capacity to regularly make me cry and to, time and time again earn my respect for both their poetics and mystical ontology. Milton is Milton, in my eyes the heroic epic cannot be taken further/refined further than paradise lost and its completion in paradise regained, not to mention the excessive quality of his shorter poems which are too often ignored. Swinburne despite being the opposite of myself ideologically and philosophically is so refined in terms of technique and capacity to imitate and combine strands of poetics that I am forced to count him one of the best, and I have a Will in me that burns to eventually overcome a fetish poem of his, even if it’s impossible for me. Spenser and dunsany are about equal in my eyes with Spenser having higher eyes but dunsany being so incredibly consistent, Spenser’s four hymns especially the latter two are in my eyes basically some of the best literature ever produced, at times soaring past everyone else on the list, and dunsany baptized my imagination in such a way that writing became a something I had to do for myself. An absolutely beautiful writer. I would recommend the following dunsany short stories to anyone who wishes to try him.

1=journey of the king(this one’s a tad bit longer but worth it.)
2=A legend of the Dawn
3=poltnaress beholder of the Ocean
4=Chu-bu and shemesh
5=the wonderful window
6=the fall of babbulkund

Chronological, read everything from Blake chronologically, and for context you would gain by reading at minimum the Bible, Milton and Dante, for broader context read Swedenborg, Shakespeare and if you want the meat of his mysticism Boehme, some Spenser especially his four hymns would be beneficial also. But If you just want to read Blake, read the yeats analysis and Swinburne essays and any other critical work on his model you can get your hands on then just read him chronologically.

I'm well aware of how much great literature I'm missing out on but soon it'll no longer be a problem once my Kobo arrives. Plus I tend to go sperg when it comes to choosing translations.
