Kang, Oksun. “The Doors of Perception & Narrow Chinks of His Cavern”: Rereading of Blake’s Poetry. Studies in English Language & Literature. 42.2 (2016): 1-16. This paper seeks to study "the doors of perception and narrow chinks of his cavern" from Blake's lyrics through prophetic poetry. My focus will be given to William Blake's poetic efforts to reveal his prophetic perception against the rational thinking surroundings in the eighteenth century. This topic can be applied to many poems including Blake's Songs of Experience, Marriage of Heaven and Hell, Visions of the Daughters of Albion, and Jerusalem. The affirmation of art was crucial to Blake, and art was an essential expression of the nature of life, independent of rational restrictions. Blake's poetry functions to raise us into a prophetic perception of the infinite. The dark images of a cavern, chain and dungeon are used to illustrate our limited perception in the mechanized industrial society. It is clear that if our doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to us as it is. (Dongseo University)
