59. Proverbs of Hell VIII

Published: Nov. 5, 2021, 1:37 p.m.

b'Here is another installment (no. 8) in our 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: "Let man wear the fell of a lion, woman the fleece of a sheep." 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.'
