Thank you all for your incredible dedication! Looking forward to my physical copy! ^ ^

I wondered about that~I have never received a hard copy-is that separate than the yearly subscription or because I dont live in Britain?

I'm trying to locate the source of the Blake quote on opening the "doors of perception"'. It was later used as a book title by Aldous Huxley and then by Jim Morrison and company as the name of a rock group. Anybody know where I can find it?

"The Marraige of Heaven and Hell" “If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.” (Sounds like a reference to Plato's Cave allegory to me). The Huxley book's a very good read, as was Burrough's "The Naked Lunch" on the same topic, drugs.

you've likely found it by now-but someone may want to know the best of lines. It's in "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell". Blake has inspired many a great works !💜
