.MHH14; E39| For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro'MHH14; E39| narrow chinks of his cavern. ED; E39| Marriage of Heaven and Hell PLATE 15MHH15; E40| A Memorable FancyMHH15; E40| I was in a Printing house in Hell & saw the method in whichMHH15; E40| knowledge is transmitted from generation to generation.MHH15; E40| In the first chamber was a Dragon-Man, clearing away theMHH15; E40| rubbish from a caves mouth; within, a number of Dragons wereMHH15; E40| hollowing the cave,MHH15; E40| In the second chamber was a Viper folding round the rock & theMHH15; E40| cave, and others adorning it with gold silver and precious stones.MHH15; E40| In the third chamber was an Eagle with wings and feathers ofMHH15; E40| air, he caused the inside of the cave to be infinite, around wereMHH15; E40| numbers of Eagle like men, who built palaces in the immense cliffs.MHH15; E40| In the fourth chamber were Lions of flaming fire raging aroundMHH15; E40| & melting the metals into living fluids.MHH15; E40| In the fifth chamber were Unnam'd forms, which cast the metalsMHH15; E40| into the expanse.MHH15; E40| There they were reciev'd by Men who occupied the sixthMHH15; E40| chamber, and took the forms of books & were arranged in libraries.ED; E40| Marriage of Heaven and Hell PLATE 16MHH16; E40| The Giants who formed this world into its sensual existenceMHH16; E40| and now seem to live in it in chains; are in truth.the causesMHH16; E40| of its life & the sources of all activity, but the chains are,MHH16; E40| the cunning of weak and tame minds.which have power to resistMHH16; E40| energy.according to the proverb, the weak in courage is strongMHH16; E40| in cunning.MHH16; E40| Thus one portion of being, is the Prolific.the other, theMHH16; E40| Devouring: to the devourer it seems as if the producer was inMHH16; E40| his chains, but it is not so, he only takes portions of existenceMHH16; E40| and fancies that the whole.MHH16; E40| But the Prolific would cease to be Prolific unless theMHH16; E40| Devourer as a sea recieved the excess of his delights.MHH16; E40| Some will say, Is not God alone the Prolific? I answer, GodMHH16; E40| only Acts & Is, in existing beings or Men.MHH16; E40| These two classes of men are always upon earth, & they shouldMHH16; E40| be enemies; whoever triesMHH; E40| [Marriage of Heaven and Hell PL 17] to reconcile them seeks to destroy existence.MHH17; E40| Religion is an endeavour to reconcile the two.MHH17; E40| Note.Jesus Christ did not wish to unite but to seperateMHH17; E40| them, as in the Parable of sheep and goats! & he says I came notMHH17; E40| to send Peace but a Sword.MHH17; E40| Messiah or Satan or Tempter was formerly thought to be one ofMHH17; E40| the Antediluvians who are our Energies. MHH17; E41| A Memorable FancyMHH17; E41| An Angel came to me and said.O pitiable foolish young man!MHH17; E41| O horrible! O dreadful state! consider the hot burning dungeonMHH17; E41| thou art preparing for thyself to all eternity, to which thou artMHH17; E41| going in such career.MHH17; E41| I said.perhaps you will be willing to shew me my eternalMHH17; E41| lot & we will contemplate together upon it and see whether yourMHH17; E41| lot or mine is most desirableMHH17; E41| So he took me thro' a stable & thro' a church & down intoMHH17; E41| the church vault at the end of which was a mill: thro' the millMHH17; E41| we went, and came to a cave.down the winding cavern we gropedMHH17; E41| our tedious way till a void boundless as a nether sky appeardMHH17; E41| beneath us & we held by the roots of trees and hung over thisMHH17; E41| immensity; but I said, if you please we will commit ourselvesMHH17; E41| to this void and see whether providence is here also, if youMHH17; E41| will not I will? but he answerd.do not presume O young-man butMHH17; E41| as we here remain behold thy lot which will soon appear when theMHH17; E41| darkness passes awayMHH17; E41| So I remaind with him sitting in the twisted [Marriage of Heaven and Hell PL 18] root ofMHH18; E41| an oak.he was suspended in a fungus which hung with the headMHH18; E41| downward into the deep:MHH18; E41| By degrees we beheld the infinite Abyss, fiery as the smokeMHH18; E41| of a burning city; beneath us at an immense distance was the sun,MHH18; E41| black but shining[;] round it were fiery tracks on which revolv'dMHH18; E41| vast spiders, crawling after their prey; which flew or ratherMHH18; E41| swum in the infinite deep, in the most terrific shapes of animalsMHH18; E41| sprung from corruption.& the air was full of them, & seemdMHH18; E41| composed of them; these are Devils.and are called Powers of theMHH18; E41| air, I now asked my companion which was my eternal lot? he said,MHH18; E41| between the black & white spidersMHH18; E41| But now, from between the black & white spiders a cloud andMHH18; E41| fire burst and rolled thro the deep blackning all beneath, soMHH18; E41| that the nether deep grew black as a sea & rolled with a terribleMHH18; E41| noise: beneath us was nothing now to be seen but a black tempest,MHH18; E41| till looking east between the clouds & the waves, we saw aMHH18; E41| cataract of blood mixed with fire and not many stones throw fromMHH18; E41| us appeard and sunk again the scaly fold of a monstrous serpent.MHH18; E41| at last to the east, distant about three degrees appeard a fieryMHH18; E41| crest above the waves slowly it reared like a ridge of goldenMHH18; E41| rocks till we discoverd two globes of crimson fire.from whichMHH18; E41| the sea fled away in clouds of smoke, and now we saw, it was theMHH18; E41| head of Leviathan.his forehead was divided into streaks of greenMHH18; E41| & purple like those on a tygers forehead: soon we saw his mouth & MHH18; E41| red gills hang just above the raging foam tinging the black deepMHH18; E41| with beams of bood, advancing toward [Marriage of Heaven and Hell PL 19] us with alltheMHH19; E41| fury of a spiritual existence [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
