From the Morgan's exhibit of the works of Blake, this illustration is from Blake's treatment of the Book of Job. It is called "Job's Evil Dream". I had a wonderful time entering the world of the philosopher, poet, painter and printer William Blake this afternoon at the Morgan. Check out the online exhibit, which include...s some audio clips of Jeremy Irons reading Blake's work, along with many of Blake's beautiful illustrations. - Beth K from Bookmarklet

"I read about the impending trial and all-too-likely execution of seven Bahais in Iran as I was reading about the outbreak of Babi/Bahai-killing in Iran a little over a century before.
