The Strange Attraction Of Blake's Urizen, Kelly Kelleway

Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture

[First paragraph]

Without Contraries is no Progression. With this simple statement in The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, William Blake posited, in 1790, a process -- a Hegelian dialectic of sorts, if you will -- that has underscored much of his poetry and has revealed itself in his etchings and engravings.

Exploration initiates movement. Because the self cannot arrive at the other, the poems resist finality, but seek to attain an economy of motion and direction that creates tension with a poem's necessity to come to a temporal conclusion. This gathering of momentum is …
