«Cristo ensinou que o homem se salva pela fé e pela ética; Swedenborg acrescentou a inteligência; Blake impõe-nos três caminhos de salvação: o moral, o intelectual e o estético. Afirmou que o terceiro havia sido pregado por Cristo, pois cada parábola é um poema.
Como Buda, cuja doutrina, de facto, era ignorada, condenou o ascetismo. Nos seus Provérbios do Inferno, lemos: «O caminho do excesso leva ao palácio da sabedoria» (…)
Blake nunca saiu de Inglaterra, mas percorreu, como Swedenborg, os reinos dos mortos e dos anjos. Percorreu as planícies de areia ardente, os montes de fogo compacto, as árvores do mal e o país dos labirintos tecidos. No verão de 1827, morreu cantando.» [J. L. Borges]

Work Description

William Blake, an English poet, painter, and printmaker, wrote a sequence of poems titled "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" that mimicked biblical prophesy. Blake, who was mostly ignored during his lifetime, is now regarded as a key influence in the development of Romantic-era poetry and visual art. Blake's deeply held Romantic and revolutionary views are expressed throughout the text.
The theme for the work, which Blake borrowed from Milton's Paradise Lost and Dantes's Inferno, is the narrator's trip to Hell. The entire book is written in prose, with the exception of the Song of Liberty and the Introductory Argument.
