Leonard Cohen’s “Last Years Man” in the light of
William Blake’s “Illustrations of the Book of Job” on The Files.

Apologies to those who read this article before today - some of the Hebrew got scrambled in the conversion from word to pdf (lost in translation) so you might have now been confused. With Jarkko's help it has now been fixed - what an amazing job this guy has done in creating and administering this website - it has to be a labour of love!

Seb2003, thank you for your post, it prompted me to read Chris Wilde's original essay that Jarkko posted years back and which I had missed.
Wilde's essay is an example of the wondrous human brain. Millions have listened to "Last Year's Man, and hundreds of millions are familiar with the story of Job, but I suspect that very very few ever had the depth of thought or the scholarly inclination to be able to interpret and compare them as Wilde did.
