BLAKE
To the memory of William Blake, a Painter and Poet, whose greatness may be named
even here since it was equalled by his goodness, this tablet is now erected,—years
after his death, at the age of sixty-eight, on August 12th, 1827, in poverty and neglect,
by one who honours his life and works.
Epitaph
All beauty to pourtray,
Therein his duty lay,
And still through toilsome strife
Duty to him was life—
Most thankful still that duty
Lay in the paths of beauty.
