happen to be reading Peter Ackroyd's bio of Blake this week (and poems
such as Visions of the Daughters of Albion, America, etc.)

quite a man is Mr. Blake. its pbly been mentioned but M&D is suffused
with Blake's spirit.  in fact, this little description seems to
summarize M&D rather well

Blake has the Daughters of Albion look to the West, to America,
because he believed that there was a promise in America that would one
day end all forms of discrimination. It was to be in America, that
races would live in harmony, and women would be able to claim their
own sexuality. At the same time, Blake recognizes that though America
has freed itself from British rule, it continues to practice slavery.
