CHAPTER

The Duality of Prophecy and Creation

This chapter examines the complex role of prophets as visionaries who reveal profound truths, often at great personal cost. It highlights the intricate symbolism of Rindra and explores the duality present in Blake's work, particularly the contrasts of beauty and pain, and good and evil. Through a lyrical analysis, it emphasizes how Blake intertwines biblical references and imaginative imagery to convey themes of transformation, struggle, and the necessity of harmonizing opposites.
