William Blake, The Book of Thel, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

William Blake's The Book of Thel is a narrative and mythologized account of his Songs of Innocence, whereas The Marriage of Heaven and Hell offers a quasi-Hegelian view on the use of contraries in order to make 'progress'.

    Quick question: where do we get "Madame Seraphim" from? I thought it's Mne Seraphim (as in Mnetha and Mnemosyne), not Mme (French "madame").

    I don't know what to think about Blake. He is certainly a great poet, but as you said he is complex and I might add that he is a very troublesome figure for people with a more Christian view.
