A little known, astonishingly personal article by King Charles provides a remarkable window onto his soul. 

In it, he speaks of an extraordinary power and hope that might not only steady a moment of constitutional transition, but even calm a period of widespread and deepening social anxiety.

The article was a tribute he wrote to the poet and William Blake scholar, Kathleen Raine, subsequently published in Resurgence magazine. 

In this talk, I unpack what the new king said and ask why it matters.
