William Blake (1757 – 1827) was a Romantic visionary who promoted the human imagination in his lifetime and inhis oeuvre of otherworldly artworks, considering them to be “the Body of God.” Blake’s philosophy of life can be summarized in one crucial insight: we don’t live in reality, we live in what we think reality is. If there is an essence to human existence, for Blake, it is the divine spark of the human imagination.

When asked whether her view of Spanish has changed from a child to an adult, Ms. Lozano said, “ In the past, I used to take my language for granted.

Now, I am more rational.”
