For Blake, the stars symbolize the power of cold reason, which he greatly despised. Like many of his contemporaries, Blake was deeply impressed by the rapid advancement of scientific knowledge. But, at the same time, he strongly opposed what we would now call scientism, the idea that everything in life can be explained by science. Blake believed that there was a whole world of imagination for which science could provide no adequate account, and he explored that world in considerable depth both in his poems and his numerous artworks.
