This was possible because Blake explicitly associates various images with one of four compass points, each representing a different major aspect of existence, and also because there are some books defining the (more or less) universally accepted semantic properties of images. These sources were relied upon to avoid, to the extent possible, a purely subjective interpretation of Blake's images and symbols. </DIV><BR><DIV> <SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Optima; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV>=======================================================</DIV><DIV>Nancy Ide</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Professor and Chair</DIV><DIV>Department of Computer Science</DIV><DIV>Vassar College</DIV><DIV>Poughkeepsie, New York 12604-0520 </DIV><DIV>USA</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>tel: (+1 845) 437 5988</DIV><DIV>fax: (+1 845) 437 7498</DIV><DIV>email: <A href="mailto:ide@cs.vassar.edu">ide@cs.vassar.edu</A></DIV><DIV><A href="http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~ide">http://www.cs.vassar.edu/~ide</A></DIV><DIV>=======================================================</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"></SPAN> </DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
