“You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough.”
William Blake
The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (Primary source)
The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1790-93) is William Blake’s radical exploration of the interplay between good and evil, reason and energy, and the constraints of conventional morality. Written as a series of aphorisms, proverbs, and visions, the work challenges the dualistic thinking of Blake’s era, particularly the rigid moral and religious frameworks imposed by institutions like the Church.
