[edit] Work In Progress: Holy Thursday, William Blake
"Holy Thursday" was published in William Blake's Songs of Innocence in 1794. Its companion poem, which bears the same name, can be found in Songs of Experience
[edit] Context
The setting of the poem is a reference to a traditional "Charity School" service at St. Paul's Cathedral on Ascension Day. "Charity Schools" were institutions funded by the public which aimed to educate the "deserving poor", the orphaned and abandoned children of London.
[edit] Commentary
Many of the poems contained in Songs of Innocence reflect Blake's view that all children have an intrinsic right to innocence/purity. Holy Thursday is another expression of this view.
In the poem
[edit] Diocesan Infobox
To the Members of the WikiProject Catholicism
I have proposed at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Catholicism an infobox for Catholic Dioceses. I have not gotten any feedback on this proposal, so I’m culling feedback, advice, corrections, etc. for this. If you have the time, would you check out User:SkierRMH/Diocese_Infobox and give me some feedback! Thanks much!!
[edit] WP:ADOPT
Hi there,
Looking through our Archives I saw that you took an interest in the Adopt-a-user program during its formation and development. Well this is just a quick message to tell you the program is well and truly lifted off, with over 200 users involved in the program, 50+ active Adopters and approx. 150 Adoptees, and always expanding. If your still interested please pop by WP:ADOPT, have a look around and ask any questions you want on our talk page. Look forward to seeing you there. Cheers Lethaniol 15:34, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
