Doors of Perception Heaven and Hell

“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.”
William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

The Marriage of Heaven and Hell' is the most overt statement Blake ever wrote in prose of his beliefs and the radical, revolutionary part of this text are 'The Proverbs of Hell.
- Huxley at the time of this writing experimented with drugs, mostly mushrrooms and cactii.
In the process of growing up man has to pass through different stages. The first stage is when one starts differentiating between reality and imaginative realms. The second stage is the realization of hypocratic behaviour of the adults, this is Blake.
You are perfectly right, if I may say so.
Grazie mille Adele, it is a pleasure to read your words.

You will never hear all of them, too long discours . . .

A lovely idea and a figure well painted that gives you food for thought as you stroll by

Thank you Roger, you are too kind.

Garou-Garou, dit "Le Passe-Muraille" ?

Non, pas celui-ci.
Il est gentil et fait sourire les enfants . . .
Que des enfants même quand ils ont 70 ans...

Apart from the figure, which is beautifully painted, it is such a lovely picture with dappled sunlight and shadows of trees.

Como Gulliver en tierra de gigantes. Buena toma.
