The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

Autor William Blake
en Limba Engleză Paperback
RINTRAH roars and shakes his fires in the burden'd air, Hungry clouds swag on the deep.Once meek, and in a perilous pathThe just man kept his course alongThe Vale of Death.Roses are planted where thorns grow, And on the barren heathSing the honey bees.Then the perilous path was planted, And a river and a springOn every cliff and tomb;And on the bleached bonesRed clay brought forth: Till the villain left the paths of easeTo walk in perilous paths, and driveThe just man into barren climes.Now the sneaking serpent walksIn mild humility;And the just man rages in the wildsWhere lions roam.Rintrah roars and shakes his fires in the burden'd air, Hungry clouds swag on the deep.As a new heaven is begun, and it is now thirty-three years since its advent, the Eternal Hell revives. And lo Swedenborg is the angel sitting at the tomb: his writings are the linen clothes folded up. Now is the dominion of Edom, and the return of Adam into Paradise.-See Isaiah xxxiv. and xxxv. chap.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 and Evil.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

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.
Dover (1994) republication of plates from a facsimile of the 1794 edition published by Trianon Press, Jura, France, 1960.
