Narration Concering Books The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

Once regarded as a brilliant eccentric whose works skirted the outer fringes of English art and literature, William Blake (1757–1827) is today recognized as a major poet, a profound thinker, and one of the most original and exciting English artists. Nowhere is his glorious poetic and pictorial legacy more evident than in The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, which many consider his most inspired and original work.
The Marriage of Heaven and Hell is both a humorous satire on religion and morality and a work that concisely expresses Blake's essential wisdom and philosophy, much of it revealed in the 70 aphorisms of his "Proverbs of Hell." This beautiful edition, reproduced from a rare facsimile, invites readers to enjoy the rich character of Blake's own hand-printed text along with his deeply stirring illustrations, reproduced on 27 full-color plates. A typeset transcription of the text is included.

i simply can't add to many of the immortal lines found in the book such as, "When the doors of perception are cleansed, everything will appear as it is, infinite." thank God for the voice known as william blake.

"Rintrah roars and shakes his fires in the burdend air;Hungry clouds swag on the deep."Blakes own trip to hell starts with sound and fury. Unlike Dantes stale and frozen hell, Blakes is a raging and flaming place of Genius and creative Energy. In this sardonic and hallucinatory poem, Blake answers to Swedenborg whose Heaven and Hell seems to have deeply irritated him as yet another expression of the dualism that he has always observed in institutionalised Christianity.Both Good, assimilated to

I bless my mind for bringing these 15 pages in my reading life. This has been the most replenishing reading experience this year. William Blake knew-- It.

After a month of reading books about mysticism and religion (both anti- and pro-) and dipping in and out of articles on the philosophy of religion, I decided to read this thing again [the rippling consequences of dating a literal Witch for a short while then angrily dismissing her entire worldview during an argument and then feeling spectacularly guilty about being so judgmental and frankly sad about no longer feeling her embrace on a couple nights a week are not to be underestimated]. Given the

Blake is a poet, and in my humble opinion, quite a good one. This little work was full of striking imagery and effective poetic devices. But with that said...Blake is a poet, and says nothing clearly. The only thing that is clear is that he has some criticisms of Christianity. What they are exactly, or if there are any solutions, is entirely up to the reader to guess.
