The Marriage of Heaven and Hell — Chorus
The Marriage of Heaven and Hell — Chorus
William Blake
Let the Priests of the Raven of Dawn, no longer in deadly black, with
hoarse note curse the Sons of Joy. Nor his accepted brethren whom,
tyrant, he calls free, lay the bound or build the roof. Nor pale
religious lechery call that virginity that wishes, but acts not!
For everything that lives is holy.
