"Blake lived and died close to the beating heart of London. He loved to be near the river, at Lambeth, or Battersea, or the Strand. Friendship took him out as far as Hampstead, where, as an old man, he used to visit Linnell the painter, to be met by the Linnell children, or seen back to the coach by them, through the country lanes, by the light of a hurricane lamp; but even at Hampstead he felt himself on alien ground, so far from the Thames, that great artery of London," From William Blake 1951 by Kathleen Raine
