Summary
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.
