Blake's opposition to the Enlightenment was deeply rooted. In his annotation to his own engraving of the classical character Laocoön, Blake wrote "Art is the Tree of Life. Science is the Tree of Death."

You know, I did get the impression this wasn't a flattering portrait, but he really hated newton, apparently.

Newton was incorporated into Blake's infernal trinity along with the philosophers Francis Bacon and John Locke.[5]

Damn!
