I interpret (and have been taught) that Blake is of the belief that if you could find a willing participant, then the action was fine. (Ex: If someone wants to be dominated and they can find one who wants to dominate them, then the action is fine). I suppose my confusion comes because I'm not exactly sure what is meant by Blake's "moral" ideas. But, even taking the moral issue for granted, that still leaves the imagination. For, even if Blake would say that we were only truely free in our imaginations, De Sade is still with Blake in his writings. 120 DAYS, JUSTINE and JULIETTE for example, are all works of of an imagination gone wild behind the walls of prison. All of De Sade's texts are imaginary in so far as the characters and events arise from his individual "poetic genius". Taken as literal texts, De Sade's works will, I admit, leave the reader feeling like they want to take a nice hot shower and scrub all the filth off. But to read Sade as figuratively as one would read Blake, would be to see behind this facade of yuck and into a sophisticated political, philosophical and gender critique. Or... maybe not. P.S. Would it be possible to elaborate on Blake's moral position?

I also find Others on this list, especially those closer to the mental wars and skirmishes of graduate school, could put such a case better than I. But is there not a powerful theme of suspiciousness not only about "totalizing" explanatory systems but about the purposeful use of language to interpret or to establish a fixed meaning of any "text" in what (for want of a better term) we have been calling Post-Modernism? In my reading of him, Blake seems sensitive to such a perception. As a creator of "texts" and of meaning, I think he worried about issues of authority and representation. An intellectual who strategizes about "piercing Apollyon with his own bow" seems to be acknowledging that a bow is an instrument taken from Apollyon's arsenal and so must, in some way, must be used against itself by cunning, lest it do Apollyon's work for him. Cf. Auden in _New Year Letter_. Textual evidence would seem to indicate that Blake, far from wishing to do Apollyon's work in the world, was intending the opposite, "the building up of Jerusalem." No, I am a Kevin Lewis one year older.

Wasn't Feuerbach embracing the circularity of Hegel's idealism, wherein the transcendent moves through history and through human thought, thinking our thoughts through us (in a closed circle)?

When I worked on Feuerbach years ago--and I admit it was not extensively--I used _The Essence of Christianity_. The doctrine of of imagination therein elaborated is what I was alluding to in the previous post. There, Feuerbach argues that the imagination is to be found always serving the needs and concerns of the natural man, which, in that text, are to be reduced to the concern to worship (glorify) humanity, the human project. I can regard this as parallel to Blake to the extent that Blake voices a powerful advocacy for the "human" (cf. the figure, "Divine Humanity"). But, by contrast to Blake, Feuerbach begins and ends with material, historical, "generated" humanity. The Blake who programatically seeks a "regenerated" humanity, striving mightily against the Spectre of selfhood and the Covering Cherub, seeking to liberate the true humanity of visionary Imagination (earlier, Poetic Genius) from the Satanic state of generation, would probably have had as much of a quarrel, if not more of one, to pick with Feuerbach as he did with Swedenborg and Milton. > Cheers, Kevin ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 04 Mar 1996 10:05:00 +0200 From: P Van Schaik To: blake@albion.com Subject: Help on Hod and Netsah -Reply Message-Id: I don't actually use the kabbalsitic "Tree" for meditation so don't quite know how to answer about Nezah and Hod. I know they are seen as the "legs" of the Eternal Man, Adam Kadmon, but I relate them, too, to the "smaller face' of God since His "Long Face" is represented by the upper 3 radiances. The Zohar says that there are "myriads of worlds" in the "Countenances" of God and within these, wherever `two spirits spread into each other in love', there they create a "hall of Love" in which the "mystery of mysteries" is revealed and themselves illuminated thereby. They become united to the "soul of all" in perfection and acquire a "single will" of thought. In my `book' on Blake and Kabbalah, I expand on how Blake evokes this harmony between all the Immortals in Eternity and on how his vision of the disruption of the"single will" has apparent parallels in the Kabbalah. My own approach is to relate Hod and Nezah to Tharmas and Los, Urizen to Din and Luvah to Hesed. As Nezah issues from Tifereth (Beauty) and spreads the `transcendent beauty of God throughout the worlds of emqnation, and also represents the qualities of `compassion' and `prophecy', it is easy to relate Los to Nezah. I compare Los's unstinting labours at his anvil and his prophesying a `return' to Innocence with what I take Nezah to represent. Similarly, I relate Tharmas to Hod and perceive him as tending the 'minute particulars' of Albion's humanity - diffusing the `splendour' of God. Blake's illustrations to Young's Night Thoughts evoke, for me, something of how he perceived the `splendour' of God. I was lucky enough to see the colourful originals in the Print Room of the British Museum. In relating the Four Zoas to Hesed, Din, Nezah and Hod, I explore the necessity of all of these co-operating with a `single will' in order to produce the beauty of Tifereth and sustain the female aspect of God, the Shekhinah, in the realms of light - the Shekhinah , in her exile from the light is then easy to relate to the casting out of Jerusalem and the resulting fall into darkness of all the female emanations of Albion. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 04 Mar 96 09:30:38 EST From: JMOSER41@PORTLAND.CAPS.MAINE.EDU (julie moser) To: blake@albion.com Subject: RE: KELEWIS Message-Id: Is this the way the elite intelligentsia respond to minor negative feedback on here? Just because someone is offended by what you (pl) say, is then a protocal to reciprocate your hurt ego in the attempt to hurt another? I expected more from this list than seeing a bunch of big heads try to hurt the people trying to learn. Maybe KELEWIS isn't typical of the response system here, but if it is, I'll gladly take my "idiotic" and "noxious imbecilites" elsewhere. Attitudes like that only hurt those of us who are currently developing our knowledge. Luckily I'm too self-absorbed to let this all mighty observation hurt me. It seems to me that, while there will never be any direct one-on-one correlation between Blake and anyone, there is a likeness and a connection between Sade and Blake. I never said they were equal and I was simply trying to flush out what could and could not be seen as likeness between them. I am trying to make a case (as it seems you are with Feurebach) , not actually making one. I expect criticism and welcome it, as long as it doesn't sound like a personal empty attack. It seems to me that to completely dismiss the link between them would be in itself "idiotic". I want to be challenged (to learn) rather than listen to empty words.

Julie ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 4 Mar 1996 11:34:45 -0800 From: Devine/Apple@eworld.com To: blake@albion.com Subject: Re: Blakean Sadism again Message-Id: <960304113442_26606443@hp1.online.apple.com> Forgive my clumsy exposition in my previous post. I didn't intend to portray Blake as a defender of any sort of conventional moralism, just to contrast his (I think) impressively practical view of the place of morality (not sexual restriction, though it's hard to separate them) in this world with what seems to me the problem with -- the error of -- De Sade: He is too easy to read literally. De Sade and Genet, had Blake known them, would no doubt have figured in the apocalypse at the end of "Jerusalem" along with Newton, Bacon, and Locke. That doesn't mean they don't do real harm in the world, precisely because they're so easy to read literally. Blake isn't; and I think his insistence that he deliberately made his works opaque to conventional reading, so as to "rouse the Faculties to act" (Letter to Trusler), is crucial here. There is a literal side to any imaginative act, and when that side is actualized, the results can be what I would call evil: The Reign of Terror/ Holocaust/ Hiroshima/ Killing Fields/ Gulf War/ Manson Family murders, etc., were not events in the Imagination only, though they started there. How are we to deal with that? And I think the only answers are paradoxical. But in trying to write about this I experience getting tangled up in the simplistic good/evil dichotomies that the Vision of the Last Judgment is all about transcending. That's what I mean by my clumsiness. In my earlier post, I wasn't speaking of sexual mores -- Blake speaks out always for the freedom to love, to make love, etc. Visions of the Daughters of Albion is very clear on that, as is Jerusalem, plate 28. My favorite locus is The Book of Los, Chapter 1: 3: O Times remote! When Love & Joy were adoration: And none impure were deem'd. Not Eyeless Covet Nor Thin-lip'd Envy Nor Bristled Wrath Nor Curled Wantonness 4: But Covet was poured full: Envy fed with fat of lambs: Wrath with lions gore: Wantonness lulled to sleep With the virgins lute Or sated with her love. 5: Till Covet broke his locks & bars, And slept with open doors: Envy sung at the rich mans feast: Wrath was follow'd up and down By a little ewe lamb And Wantonness on his own true love Begot a giant race: So what am I trying to say? The contrast between "Justine" and "Visions of the Daughters of Albion" or "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell", not to mention "Jerusalem," seems to me to have to do with Blake's devotion to art, Imagination, the freedom of the mind, and the experience of Eternity. I don't see in De Sade a similar focus on Eternity, and that's why his rebellion seems to me to run into the dead end of debauchery. But those may be the limitations of my own reading of him. I'm not questioning his or anyone's right to find out their own path for themselves, through whatever kind of exploration: But for me, De Sade didn't have the inspirational value of Blake. I ran up against the walls of my own sexual prison, and reading De Sade didn't help me find a way out -- just led me to rage against them the more, while continuing to create them. Blake gave me a kind of hope and a challenge that I didn't get from De Sade. But I haven't read much of De Sade beyond Justine, and that was many years ago. Did I miss his point? --Tom Devine ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 4 Mar 1996 15:31:59 -0800 From: george@nowhere.georgecoates.org (George Coates) To: blake@albion.com Subject: Digital Blake prints?

It is called "William Blake: Songs of Innocence and of Experience," and it is narrated by a British Blake scholar. It is really worth seeing and a good introduction to Blake. If you have difficulty finding it, I will try to find out more for you. There is also a good essay on "The Chimeny Sweeper" in the collection of critical essays on William Blake edited by Northrop Frye called William Blake.

No. >As a creator of "texts" and of meaning, I think he worried about >issues of authority and representation. But not for their own sake. As for representation, you can find the same issue in Zen Buddhism. You can find this problem being treated in one way or another going back thousands of years, but the issue is never vacuous self-reflexivity (a.k.a. linguistic masturbation), but rather representation as misrepresentation of something deeper and more essential. Of course, since Blake questioned more things than his predecessors, and given the time in which he lived, Blake was able and had to make epistemology a part of his program, to expose the process of cognition itself. This is self-reflexiveness for the purpose of attaining some real truth, and not the vacuous nihilistic deconstructive drivel you propose. You are right about Blake's concern with the issue of authority, but the authority in question does not pertain to the author or the text, but to real, live authority in society, in human relations on a macro and micro scale. Blake could have reified himself into a new authority, a defender of Culture and Spirit against the brute mob, but seeing the danger of this in advance, Blake tried to undercut the process. Would Wordsworth, Coleridge, Bauer, Stirner, Nietzsche, Yeats, Pound or Eliot heeded Earth's complaint? Blake alone did this. However, your thoughts on Feuerbach are stimulating. >Wasn't Feuerbach embracing the circularity of Hegel's idealism, >wherein the transcendent moves through history and through human >thought, thinking our thoughts through us (in a closed circle)?

Now here is a real piece of meat to chew on! I'm having some trouble translating this into my own earth-bound language. I can see Blake fighting with Hegel, with Bauer, with Stirner. What would be the nature of his quarrel with Feuerbach? Was Feuerbach an arrogant egotist closed up in his imperious selfhood like Bauer, Stirner, or Nietzsche? This is what Blake sought to avoid. Or is it that Feuerbach never got beyond the stage of the pious Bard, calling humanity to redemption, separating himself from the Urizenic Holy Word only to flounder in empty space? ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 04 Mar 1996 23:17:46 -0700 From: Joseph James Thiebes To: blake@albion.com Cc: Brad Amos , Jennifer Dexter , Robert Jacobson , Stone Worship Design Subject: Greetings from your #1 Lurker!

I was hoping to be able to take enough courses during this semester to prepare for the MA exam in the summer, but ,right now, it seems like I won't be able to manage all the work and that I will have to change my plans. On the other hand I can't just drop the class because this would affect my status as a full-time student and thus my visa. This, probably, all sounds confusing and I would appreciate it if I could get an appointment with you (perhaps tomorrow before class?) so that I can explain the situation to you personally. I will be on campus from 11am on tomorrow morning and would be very thankful if you could let me know (via email:tadn@uhura. or telephone: 436-8974) if you have time for an appointment tomorrow.I could also stop by at your or Lucy's office to find out about a possible appointment if that is more conveniant for you.
