' Innocence is his secret, ' says Mr. De Selincourt ^ : he had a ' childlike trust in good- ness. ' It has been suggested that some of his peculiarities are to be ascribed to his Irish ancestry. - Certainly he could hardly be regarded as typically English. Ireland is ' William Blake, pp. 22 and 28. ' See Colum's My Irish Year, p. 74, and Chesterton's William Blake, pp. 4-6. Also ^ : A Study of a Man and a Nation, by Darrell Figgis, pp. 84-5. 156 ARROWS OF DESIRE said to be the ' isle of saints,... ' but it is not so emphatically the isle of sense — not the land of active beneficence and co-operative goodness. However that may be, ^ it seems absurd at least to regard Blake as an example of one who was devoted to Art for Art's sake. Whatever we may think of his views, he surely preached them pretty vigorously in his art. He was essentially one of the prophetic artists, though certainly not a conventional one ; and he was a very good representative of the antago- nism of the serious artist to conventional morality.
