Thanks, Farasha. I'm reading a book that I suspect you'd like. Roger Sworder (2008, orig. 1995), Mining, Metallurgy and the Meaning of Life. About the place of the different metals in various bodies of myth; the sacred dimension of mining, depending on the society; the desacralization of work by the Reformation; and the contrast between Blake and Wordsworth on both work and Nature. The latter may be familiar to you already, but discovering it was eye-opening for me. I will read Kathleen Raine's book.
