Error is Created. Truth is Eternal. Error, or Creation, will be Burned up, & then, & not till Then, Truth or Eternity will appear. It is Burnt up the Moment Men cease to behold it. I assert for My Self that I do not behold the outward Creation & that to me it is hindrance & not Action; it is as the Dirt upon my feet, No part of Me. „What,“ it will be Question’d, „When the Sun rises, do you not see a round disk of fire somewhat like a Guinea?“ Oh no, no, I see an Innumerable company of the Heavenly host crying, ‚Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God Almighty.‘ I question not my Corporeal or Vegetative Eye any more than I would Question a Window concerning Sight. I look thro‘ it & not with it. BLAKE
„There was no doubt that this poor man was mad, but there is something in the madness of this man which interests me more than the sanity of Lord Byron and Walter Scott.“ WORDSWORTH
