I never knew Kathleen Raine but wish that I had.
A poet and scholar of William Blake, she is one of those people who can only ever say fascinating things – not just in terms of insight, but the kind of things that are arresting because they change your experience of life.

From Mark's list on being free of the fear that you have no imagination.
