The Fall

Genesis tells of the first humans' Fall in the Garden of Eden. In The Four Zoas Blake tell us about the fall of Albion.


In Milton, and Jerusalem, as well as The Four Zoas, Blake wrote volumes concerning the Fall; it could be described as the sum total of the things that Blake most disvalued about life, about society, about the psyche, his own as well as larger dimensions of the human psyche. But his own particularly: analyzing his own psyche Blake informed us in great and repetitious detail about the psychic ills of the world, as well as those of you and me.
