William Blake at early age was so charged with static electricity that he managed to set his then master James Basire on fire. Subsequently this became Blake's main influence behind the song "Jerusalem" which in later years became a major pop hit in China. However it should be noted now that the song is outlawed in that country and even just uttering the first line"And did those feet in ancient time...."
can send you to the electric chair, quite ironic that it started with it being the influence behind the song, and is now the second highest cause of death in China.
