…To perplex youth in their outgoings & to bind to labours
in Albion Of day & night the myriads of eternity: that they may grind
And polish brass & iron hour after hour, laborious tasks, Kept
ignorant of its use: that they might spend the days of wisdom In sorrowful
drudgery to obtain a scanty pittance of bread, In ignorance to view a small
portion & think that All, And call it Demonstration, blind to all the
simple rules of life
(Blake, 1966, p. 700)
