The Doors of Perception
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. 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. William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell
