52. Proverbs of Hell V

Published: July 20, 2021, midnight

b'Here again, installment in on-going examination of the poet, printer and radical William Blake\'s "Proverbs of Hell," a prose poem first published in THE MARRIAGE OF HEAVEN AND HELL, written between the years 1798 and 1803. We look at the proverbs "The nakedness of woman is the work of God"; and "Excess of sorrow laughs. Excess of joy weeps." To note, in these sessions, we do a granular - and maybe even (in keeping with Blake) infinitely so - reading of this perfect articulation of things we\'re still working out.'
