Hallo!

How do you think, is there some relations between mythology of Tolkien and "Prophesy Books" of Blake?

For instance. Orc of Blake AFAIR is a one of gods and a symbol of rebellion, war, ferocity and slaughter. Orcs of JRRT IMHO have similar character.

But I don't have read that Tolkien sometime have meet Blake's books or use it.

Sincerely yours.
