«The Negation of God constitutes Hell».
21
«The Eternal Body of Man is The Imagination. that is God himself / The Divine Body <…> It manifests itself in his works of Art».
22
My soul is seven furnaces, incessant roars the bellows
Upon my terribly faming heart, the molten metal runs
In channels thro my fiery limbs: O love! O pity! O fear!
O pain! O the pangs, the bitter pangs of love forsaken

«Besides. let them look at gothic Figures & gothic Buildings, & not talk of Dark Ages or of Any Age! Ages are All Equal. But Genius is Always Above The Age».

«by means а startlingly unorthodox first-person narrator, Blake conducts us – in a heterogeneous mixture of prose and verse, levels of discourse, points of view, and imagery – pass past ominous apocalyptic symbols as in a nightmare; but the cosmic vastness of the poem can as suddenly telescope into a wry dramatic exchange or monologue; and the disparate levels and contents are suspended in a narrative consciousness which, as a dream process contains all contradictions and derives its dynamics from its own paradoxical tension».

«the limits of the defining intellect».
28
To LORD byron in the Wilderness
What doest thou here Elijah?

«I have this morning been reading a strange publication – viz. Poems with very wild and interesting pictures, as the swathing, etched (I suppose) but it is said – printed and painted by the Author, W. Blake. He is a man of Genius – and I apprehend, a Swedenborgian – certainly, a mystic empathically You perhaps smile at my calling another Poet, a Mystic; but verily I am in the very mire of commonplace common-sense compared with Mr. Blake, apo- or rather anacalyptic Poet, and Painter!»
38
«Blake's prophetic visions thus do not reveal previously hidden truths, but return any glimmer of truth to obscurity».
