I had the best intentions to write my Z post on William Blake’s The Four Zoas.

If I had had a brain in my head, I would have written that “Z” post during that first, fresh week and squirreled it away. But I didn’t. And I didn’t.

And now I have zero idea of where I wanted to go with that post. Zip.

So here – I will at least show you a pretty picture of his Zoas – Tharmas (sense), Luvah (love), Urthona (imagination), and Urizen (reason).

Literary scholars have spent their lives’ work studying this unparalleled yet uncompleted prophetic vision of Blake’s. So I’m not sure what I thought I was going to accomplish with one small blog post, coming on the heels of 25 other blog posts about random crapola:

K – What Writers KNOW

L – Library Lions

M – Meat

N – Ni! and Neee-wom and Noodles

O – Operation Organize Office

P – Playing the Part

Q – Quixotic

R – Rock and Roll Riders

S – Sun Kink

T- Training to be a Dirty Girl

U – Review of Amanda USEN’s ‘Scrumptious’

V – whose post has VANISHED into thin air – creepy!

W – Writers’ Retreat

X – Xigua

Y – Yodelittle

Z – wasn’t really about the Zoas at all. MAYBE NEXT YEAR!

I hope everyone had fun blogging and reading from A to Z! And I hope to see you on the blog hop next year. Until then, feel free to stop by this little corner of the web to say hi.

Zee ya latah!

I use Zoas as a word in Scrabble/Words with Friends, but beyond that, I don’t think I’ve ever read Blake’s work on the subject. I’ll wait til I can read your post next year about it! 😉

Off to read some more of your random crapola! (I, too, love that tag!)

Congratulations! I finished as well. I’m impressed that you have a tag for “crapola.” I’ll have to catch up on those…

  Thanks, John! I thought crapola was an appropriate tag for today, given the state of my brain! Hope you made it through this Challenge with a smile!
