"A Memorable Fancy, Plate 14" lyrics
"A Memorable Fancy, 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
