Originators like William Blake:

And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic Mills?

And I made a rural pen,
And I stained the water clear,
And I wrote my happy songs
Every child may joy to hear.

And Priests in black gowns, were walking their rounds,
And binding with briars, my joys & desires.
