A Devil's Tale

"As I was walking among the fires of hell, delight with the
enjoyments of Genius, which to Angels look like torment and
insanity, I collected some of thier Proverbs: thinking that as
the sayings used in a nation mark its character, so the Proverbs
of Hell shew the nature of Infernal wisdom better than any
description of buildings of garments."

- From William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell
