Background
Blake's "The Goblin"...
A description of the experience
William Blake – from the Complete Poems
Permanent and not lost, not lost nor vanished and every little act
Word, work and wish that has existed, all remaining still
In those churches ever consuming and ever building by the spectres
Of all the inhabitants of earth wailing to be created
Shadowy to those who dwell not in them, mere possibilities
But to those who enter into them they seem the only substances
For every thing exists and not one sigh nor smile nor tear
One hair nor particle of dust, not one can pass away
