From the Paper:

"Romantic poet William Blake can be viewed as England's greatest mystic, prophet, and visionary through some of his most famous poetry. Possessing the soul of a mystic, William Blake was on a continuous journey to gain spiritual knowledge and tried to poetically describe to others what he learned. As a prophet, Blake was able to spread his messages and insights of the future through his epic poems. Blake used his poetry to express his visions, which encompassed his imaginative mind. Through prime examples of his poetry, one can come to the conclusion that he was all three of these things."
