A rainbow arches, but the sky doesn’t soften. In this illustration to Thomas Gray’s Pindaric Ode, William Blake casts the imagination as ascent: spectral muses float above a dreaming figure, while another stands poised between awe and surrender. Thought and vision meet in watercolor light. Send to someone who’s reaching - beyond the limits of a vulgar fate.
