1.“…he [William Blake] did everything he could to make his figures lose substance, to become transparent and indeterminate one from the other, to defy gravity, to be present but intangible, to glow without a definable surface, not to be reducible to objects.”
John Berger, “Ways of Seeing”
2.“’Mental things,’ Blake declared, ‘are alone Real. What is Called Corporeal Nobody Knows of its dwelling Place; it is in Fallacy & its Existence is Imposture.’”
“’I question not my Corporeal or Vegetative Eye any more than I Would Question a Window concerning a Sight.’”
Leopold Damrosch, “Symbol and Truth in Blake’s Myth”
William Blake, “An Allegory of the Spiritual Condition of Man”
