The Marriage of Heaven and Hell by William Blake

To bathe in the Waters of life; to wash off the Not Human
I come in Self-annihilation & the grandeur of Inspiration
To cast off Rational Demonstration by Faith in the Saviour
To cast off the rotten rags of memory by Inspiration
To cast off Bacon, Locke & Newton fro Albions covering
To take off his filthy garments, & clothe him with Imagination
To cast aside from Poetry, all that is not Inspiration.



Without Contraries is no progression. Attraction and Repulsion, Reason and Energy, Love and Hate, and necessary to Human existence.



If the doorsof perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite.

For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.
