Deathday Heaven
It is our tradition to meet at Bunhill Fields on the anniversary of William
Blake's death. We will gather at the gravestone at 1pm, to read a poem, or tell
a tale, then repair to a nearby public house.
This year it is a great honour to have Luis and Carol Garrido speak about
their researches into the burial of Blake's immediate family and their
identification of the exact place where William is buried - recorded in the
cordinates (77, 32, 9)
'His eyes Brighten'd and He burst out in Singing of the things he saw in
Heaven'
Sunday 14 August 2005 at 10.45 am
Oxford Circus tube (Exit 6)
Before our event there is a walk organised by Ed Glinert (not the Blake
Society) leaving from Oxford Circus tube (Exit 6) at 10.45am. The timing has
been chosen for the convenience of anyone wanting to go to the grave at Bunhill
Fields at 1pm. The cost is £5.50 or £4.50 concessions.
The walk will include key sites from Blake's life - residences, addresses,
places mentioned in the poems - and include sites around the West End relevant
to his contemporaries or indicative of influences.
