If the doors of perception were cleansed, every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite. — William Blake
The Doors of Perception – Heaven and Hell – Aldous Huxley
Two short stories by Aldous Huxley inspired by William Blake and drug trips!
Paulo Coelho makes an implicit reference to Blake in The Alchemist.
To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.
Synchronicity: I thought of these lines yesterday and their implicit reference in The Alchemist, then today at around the same time I get sent this video of Blake’s paintings!
Music: Kuh by Replikas, a Turkish band.
