Who's your favorite poet and why is he William Blake?

" if the doors of perception were cleansed then everything would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow chinks of his cavern"

About ten years ago, someone on this board posted a webpage containing numerous lists of weird books; there as a list dedicated to surrealism and many other types of odd literature. The page was very Web 1.0; even at the time the design looked dated. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and have a link or a name I can search?

A big theme in Luther's writing is the unity of opposites in respect to our salvation: it's only in sin and our horror at our sin that we are close to God, and it's precisely when we are secure in his mercy that we are farthest from him. This fact is signified in the crucifixion, where God's despair and abandonment of himself was the moment of merit by which we, insofar as we are joined to Christ, are forgiven for our sins, as opposed to Adam and Eve's trust that God loved them and would not kill them leading to the sin that drove them out of paradise.
Luther doesn't quite go here, but why should this dynamic end on earth, and not continue in the afterlife? God intended for Adam and Eve to live forever in happiness in Eden, but Adam and Eve's very belief that God's beneficence would not fail caused them to lead lives of hardship, while God repeatedly confers favor on men like Abraham and Moses who doubt his good will.

I am looking for an illustrated version of pic related and am coming up blank. Occasionally I see one on Amazon, but the reviews are shit and the pictures are small. I am willing to buy an illustrated anthology of Blake's poems as long as Heaven and Hell are included.

But also kind of a heretic, too.
I see his work as Gnostic.
