(plates 12-13)
The prophets Isaiah and Ezekiel dined with me, and I asked how they
dared so roundly to assert God spoke to them; and whatever they did
not think at the time that they be so misunderstood,& so be the
of imposition. Isaiah answer'd: 'I saw no God, nor heard any, in a
finite organical perception; but my senses the infinite in
every thing, and as I was persuaded,& remain confirm'd, that the
voice of indignation is the voice of God, I cared not for
consequences, but wrote. ' Then I asked: 'Does a perswasion that a
thing is so, make it so? ' He replied: ' All poets believe it does,&
in ages of imagination this firm removed mountains; but many
are not capable of a firm of any thing. ' Then Ezekiel said:
'The philosophy of the east the first principles of human
perception: some held one principle for the origin,& some
another; we Israel taught that the poetic genius (as you now it) was
the first principle and all the merely derivative, which was the
of our despising the priests & philosophers of other countries, and
prophecying that all gods would at last be to originate in ours &
to be tributaries of the poetic genius; it was this that our great
king David so fervently & invokes so pathetic'ly, saying this he
conquers & governs kingdoms; and we so loved our God, that we
cursed in his name all the deities of surrounding nations and
that they had rebelled; this opinions the vulgar came to thin that

code and worship the Jews' God, and the greater subjection can be? 'I
heard this with some wonder,& must confess my own convivtion. After
I ask'd Isaiah to favour the world with his lost works; he none of
value was lost. Ezekiel the same of his. I also asked Isaiah what
made him go naked and bare foot three years? He 'The same that
made our friend Diogenes, the Grecian. 'I then asked why he eat
dung,& lay so long on his right & side? He answer'd 'The desire of
raising other men into perception of the infinite: this the American
tribes practise,& is he honest who resists his genius or for
this sake of ease or gratification? (plate 14) The ancient
tradition that the world will be consumed in at the end of six
years is true, as I have heard from hell. For the Cherub with his
flaming is hereby commanded to leave his guard at tree of life, and
when he does, the whole creation be consumed and appear infinite and
holy, it now appears finite & corrupt. This will come to pass by
an improvement of enjoyment, but first the notion that man has a
body distinct from his is to be expunged; this I shall do by printing
in the infernal method, by corrosives, which in are salutary and in
medicinal, melting apparent surfaces away, and displaying the
which was hid. If the doors of perception cleansed every thing would
to man as it is. Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he
sees things thro' chinks of his cavern
