Originally from 6/24/01:

“The universal themes addressed in his works – life, love, war and religious faith – speak directly to the twenty-first sentry mind” – last sentence of the intro to the Met’s William Blake exhibitions. What strikes me the most is the sense of immediacy that the statement represents – and how everything these days is clamoring to be “super relevant” because of the date change. So we are in the new millennium and now everything is starting a new – therefore everything is relevant to the individual looking to refocus, refine, rediscover or reinvent himself.
