After the War, there was talk of building a 'new Jerusalem'; after all, people felt they had to have been fighting for something. Many progressive rock musicians were born into, and grew up in, this environment, ie. post-war Britain from the mid-forties onward. Roger Waters was born in 1943, Jon Anderson in 1944, Greg Lake 1947, Rick Wakeman 1949, and so on. However, there are those who would not have supported Beveridge and the Welfare State.

And around that same time, Jon Anderson quoted Blake's line "Energy is eternal delight" as an epigraph in the Yes 1976 tour program. (Alan White, on his page, quoted a supposed Dylan Thomas line that inspired the title of his album, but got it all garbled. The quote in the program reads "And the ramshackled sea exhaulted thus"; the actual Thomas line is "And the tusked, ramshackling sea exults.")

William Shatner had a bigger influence.
