Energy!

Energy is all around us, presenting itself in a multitude of formations.

William Blake uses the theme of Energy to convey an important message. Energy is the ability to experience life and all its glory completely. Though many Christian faiths view some experience as negative, or as sin, Blake has another opinion. Blake sees these sins as experience, through some are viewed as negative they all play into experience. Energy, as Blake purposes, is immersing yourself in life and all that it has to offer.

He writes, "2. Energy is the only life and is from the Body and Reason is the bound or outward circumference of Energy. 3. Energy is Eternal Delight" (Blake).

By capitalizing the word Energy Blake puts a strong emphasis on the importance of it. Placing it on the same level as God. Energy, for Blake, is the God within all of us.
