Narration Supposing 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.

Write-Up Epithetical Books The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

I love Blake. He always manages to touch something in my heart. There's a reason the only poem I know by heart is one of his. And whether it's with words, or with paint (The Night of Enitharmon's Joy is a personal favourite), or with his etchings (another personal favourite: 'Europe supported'. At first, it looks like a picture with 3 pretty, naked girls, then you realise it is harsh social commentary, that still rings true today), he always manages to make you think.The Marriage of Heaven and

Beautiful crafted plates and put together into this text. Blake's desire to rearrange the devil's relationship with God and to abolish the concept of a heaven and hell, a good and bad, is well executed but I don't know if he means for us to take him seriously. Or rather, can we take him seriously? This is definitely a text that you need to experience in the format of his plates which he so painstakingly painted in his home.

Blake's visionary "Bible of Hell" is partly satirical, partly serious and I understood almost none of it, but it was beautiful.

Without Contraries is no progression. Attraction and Repulsion, Reason and Energy, Love and Hate, are necessary to Human existence.From these contraries spring what the religious call Good & Evil. Good is the passive that obeys Reason. Evil is the active springing from Energy.Good is Heaven. Evil is Hell. Besides William Blake's Songs of Innocence and of Experience, I haven't read anything else until I found this magnificent piece of writing first published in 1790. A book replete with

Some choice proverbs that make me want to bump this to 5 stars.

Roses are planted where thorns growProverbs of hellPrudence is a rich ugly old maid courted by Incapacity He who desires but acts not breeds pestilence

Blake was one of the greatest artistic geniuses, and this book is the clearest expression of his ideas outside of his sublime but gnomic prophetic books. This work on the other hand is brief and accessible, and is as good an introduction to Blake's visionary genius as one is likely to find.
