Yesterday I went for a walk by the sea with a friend and the air was thick with mist and the sea was buffeting and jolting towards the shore in long angry waves. But then the sun came through and we were surrounded by a buttery light, the kind of light that William Blake used for Heaven and its inhabitants.
