Is this something only Christians can comprehend?

I think it's more like only Blake-heads can comprehend.
Then Blake himself was a Milton-head, "Paradise Lost" and all that.

Adding to that, Blake never published any of his own work during his lifetime, it was only after his death that reams of his poetry and drawings were found, Blake posthumously revealed as a deep, secret mystic.
