  1. Blake

  2. The ancient tradition that the world will be consumed by fire, at the end of six thousand years, is true – as I have heard from Hell.

  3. For the cherub, with his flaming sword, is hereby commanded to leave his guard at tree of life and, when he does, the whole creation will be consumed and appear infinite and holy, wheareas it now appears finite and corrupt.

  4. This will come to pass by an improvement of sensual enjoyment. But first the notion that man has a body distinct from his soul is to be expunged; this I shall do by printing in the infernal method by corrosives, which in Hell are salutary and medicinal, melting apparent surfaces away and displaying the infinite which was hid.

  5. If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is: infinite.

  6. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro’ narrow chinks in his cavern.

  7. “One makes oneself a visionary by a long, immense, ordered derangement of the senses.” -- Rimbaud

  8. Energy is eternal delight.

  9. Everything that lives is Holy; life delights in life.
