Gdyby oczyścić drzwi percepcji,
Każda rzecz jawiłaby się taka, jaka jest: nieskończona.

SCREW 14
The ancient tradition that the world will be consumed in fire
at the end of six thousand years is true. as I have heard from Hell.
For the cherub with his flaming sword is hereby commanded to
leave his guard at the tree of life, and when he does, the whole creation
will be consumed, and appear infinite and holy
whereas it now appears finite & corrupt.
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 to
be 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 thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.
