And yet who could have brought the bees, the lake, the sun, the bloom, more perfectly before us than that picture does? He might have shadowed forth the choirs of spirits, the trailing voices and their thrilling songs, phantasmal Demorgorgon, and the charioted Hour. Prometheus, too, with his "flowing limbs," has just Blake's fault of impersonation the touch of unreality in that painter's Adam.
