Ulver Themes From William Blake's The Marriage Of專輯

11.Plate 14

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

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 whereas
it now appears finite & corrupt.

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.

If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would
appear to man as it is, infinite.

For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro'
narrow chinks of his cavern.
