Man by his reasoning power can only compare
& judge of what he has already perciev'd.
If it were not for the Poetic or Prophetic character
the Philosophic & Experimental would soon be at
the ratio of all things, & stand still, unable to do
other than repeat the same dull round over again.
(There is no Natural Religion)
Without Contraries is no progression.
Man has no Body distinct from his Soul; for that call'd
Body is a portion of Soul discern'd by the five Senses,
the chief inlets of Soul in this age.
Energy is the only life, and is from the Body; and
Reason is the bound or outward circumference of
Energy.
Energy is eternal delight.
Eternity is in love with the productions of time.
What is now proved was once only imagin'd.
Everything possible to be believ'd is an image
of truth.
The tygers of wrath are wiser than the horses of
instruction.
For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things
throë narrow chinks in his cavern.
If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing
would appear to man as it is, infinite.
For every thing that lives, is Holy.
(The Marriage of Heaven and Hell)
William Blake (1757-1827) was 'n tydgenoot van
onder andere Beethoven en Napoleon. Hy het dus
gedurende sy leeftyd beide die Amerikaanse
Vryheidsoorlog en die Franse Rewolusie deurleef
en was aan die kant van diegene wat ook gehoop
het vir vernuwing in Engeland. Hy het Newton
se meganistiese wereldsiening sterk teengestaan.
