"Philosophers, when confronted with the outside and inside,

Jake Baddeley, Thresholds III

"If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow chinks of this cavern."
William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.
