This will come to pass by an
improvement of sensual enjoyment. But first the notion that man has a body
distinct from his soul, is tobe expunged; this I shall do, by printing in the
infernal method, by corrosives, which in Hell are salutary and medicinal,
melting apparent surfaces away, and displaying the infinite which was hid.
If the doors of perception were
cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is: infinite.
For man has closed himself up,
till he sees all things throÕ narrow chinks of his cavern.
