"As I was walking among the fires of hell, delighted

with the enjoyments of Genius: which to Angels look

like torment and insanity, I collected some of their

Proverbs: thinking that as the sayings used in a nation

mark its character, so the Proverbs of Hell shew the

nature of Infernal Wisdom"

--The Marriage of Heaven and Hell

The "Proverbs of Hell" form one of the most prominent and most frequently reprinted sections of Blake's Marriage of Heaven and Hell. This printing is a limited edition from the Adagio Press in 1982.
