In his poem, "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell," William Blake
hypothesized that "If the doors of perception were cleansed
everything would appear to man as it is, infinite." Of course,
Blake's "doors of perception" are both hard to clean and even
harder to keep clean. For John Ruskin, the famous 19th century art
and social critic, seeing demanded a scientist's respect for fact,
but also a love for what was being seen. These poems ask us to
attend, with devotion and care, to a world which will always remain
a mystery, but a mystery in which love calls us to the things of
this world where we may become most fully human.
