    Crazy to think how Blake kept volumes and volumes of poetry and intricate illustrations and paintings private during his lifetime, his enigmatic work made known to the world only later.

    A more recent equivalent might be Bob Dylan’s studio outtake bootlegs and the Basement Tapes, circulating among a community of devoted fans. Except imagine there never were any official albums released.

    William Blake posthumously became the original modern bootleg artist.

    Being honest though, if you don’t have the title to work off of, this could just be a rape scene. Naked man bound to ground, being dominated by an older man.
