Sneak Peak
An Angel came to me and said: “O pitiable foolish young man! O horrible, O dreadful state! Consider the hot burning dungeon thou art preparing for thyself to all Eternity, to which thou art going in such career.”
I said: “Perhaps you will be willing to show me my eternal lot, and we will contemplate together upon it, and see whether your lot or mine is most desirable.”
So he took me through a stable, and through a church, and down into the church vault, at the end of which was a mill; through the mill we went, and came to a cave; down the winding cavern we groped our tedious way, till a void boundless as a nether sky appeared beneath us, and we held by[32] the roots of trees, and hung over this immensity; but I said: “If you please, we will commit ourselves to this void, and see whether Providence is here also; if you will not, I will.” But he answered: “Do not presume, O young man; but as we here remain, behold thy lot, which will soon appear when the darkness passes away.”
So I remained with him sitting in the twisted root of an oak; he was suspended in a fungus, which hung with the head downward into the deep.
Synopsis
The Marriage of Heaven and Hell by William Blake, an English poet and printmaker is a awe-inspiring collection of texts modeled after biblical prophecy but expressing Blake's intensely personal Romantic and revolutionary beliefs. As with his previous works, it was printed as sheets from etched plates and included prose, poetry, and illustrations colored by Blake and his wife Catherine. It is both a humorous satire on religion and morality and a work that succinctly expresses Blake's essential wisdom and philosophy, much of which is revealed in his "Proverbs of Hell".
This edition of The Marriage of Heaven and Hell by William Blake is a classic collection of breathtaking poetry reinvented for modern audiences, with a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, perfect for the literature lover and book connoisseur.
