Rembrandt: The Risen Christ Appearing to Mary Magdalene
Beloved Soul:
William Blake is a good old friend whom I did not know
was speaking to me until another good friend,
Mervyn Brady, pointed him out to me, and I began to
hear him and feel his friendship, and kinship, with me.
Please allow this good old friend to feed you
a two-course breakfast, an appetizer and a main course
if you will, or a main course and desert. Remember:
The word, orange, is not orange;
the word is not the thing actually.

William Blake (1757-1827):
A truth that's told with bad intent
Beats all the lies you can invent
It is right it should be so.
Man was made for Joy and Woe
And when this we rightly know
Through the World we safely go,
Joy and Woe are woven fine
A clothing for the soul divine,
Under every grief and pine
Runs a joy with silken twine.
Man was made for Joy and Woe
And when this we rightly know
Through the World we safely go,
Joy and Woe are woven fine
A clothing for the soul divine,
Under every grief and pine
Runs a joy with silken twine.

Men are admitted to heaven,
not because they have curbed and govern their passions.
The treasures of heaven are not negations of passions,
but realities of intellect from which the passions emanate
uncurbed in their eternal glory.
