Besides its unreasonableness, there is an even more serious objection to Blake's mysticism – and indeed to all mysticism: its lack of humanity. The mystic's creed – even when arrayed in the wondrous and ecstatic beauty of Blake's verse – comes upon the ordinary man, in the rigidity of its uncompromising elevation, with a shock which is terrible, and almost cruel. The sacrifices which it demands are too vast, in spite of the divinity of what it has to offer. What shall it profit a man, one is tempted to exclaim, if he gain his own soul, and lose the whole world? The mystic ideal is the highest of all; but it has no breadth.
– Lytton Strachey on William Blake (1906)
