DeleteYou may be right, after all Ginsberg himself said he experienced an auditory hallucination while masturbating and reading the poetry of William Blake, which he later referred to as his "Blake vision". Ginsberg claimed to have heard the voice of God—or of Blake himself reading "Ah! Sun-flower" .
