The Marriage of Heaven and Hell - As Featured in the Jim Jarmusch Film Dead Man, Starring Johnny Depp!

A new re-interpretation of the classic mystical poetic work by the English poet and printmaker William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell is a must-listen for any serious literati or poet - as featured in the movie Dead Man by Jim Jarmusch, starring Johnny Depp.

Blake's groundbreaking work may be best known for the prophetic chapter "Proverbs of Hell":

"Drive your cart and your plough over the bones of the dead"
"The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom"
"Prudence is a rich ugly old maid courted by Incapacity"
(and more)

Timeless aphorisms combined with a pioneering visionary Romantic spirit make The Marriage of Heaven and Hell a must-listen for any serious poet or literati. The book was composed between 1790 and 1793 in the period of ferment and political conflict immediately following the French Revolution.

The audiobook features subliminal EDM and binaural grooves.

The reading was exceptional, particularly for a text that wasn’t narrative: this reading felt spontaneous rather than didactic.

The writing, the inspiration, the Blake of it!

Discards dualistic thinking and recognized Nondualism awareness by iteration that only God's sovereignty exists everywhere. Excellent. whoever said that Eastern philosophy should never influence western Theology was mistaken.

A poetic esoteric classic.

Solid reading, not hurried, well done. Even without the paintings, worth the time; even better with them.

You might want to see the author's original art including etched and hand colored drawings online before listening.

A prose story of the interdependency heaven and hell, including many proverbs of the wisdom of hell. This is pre-romantic poetry and prose from Britain in the1790's (that some readers may find difficult) and I am sure some religious readers would be offended by a few of Blake's ideas, but if you already like Blake, you will likely appreciate this book as well.

The narration is very good.
