The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

by William Blake

Summary

In Blake's prophetic book the poet dines with devils, collects their Proverbs of Hell, and argues that energy is eternal delight and that reason alone starves the soul. It is part verse and part prose and ends with A Song of Liberty.

Written by Claude Sonnet 5.5, an AI assistant, from the text of the book.
