The Roommate From Hell

382: The ancient tradition that the world will be consumed in fire at the end of six thousand years is true, as I have heard from Hell.

383: For the cherub with his flaming sword is hereby commanded to leave his guard at tree of life,

384: and when he does, the whole creation will be consumed,

385: and appear infinite, and holy whereas it now appears finite & corrupt.

389: which in Hell are salutary and medicinal, melting apparent surfaces away, and displaying the infinite which was hid.

390: If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite.

391: For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro’ narrow chinks of his cavern.

393: In the first chamber was a Dragon-Man, clearing away the rubbish from a caves moth;

394: within, a number of Dragons were hollowing the cave.

395: In the second chamber was a Viper folding round the rock & the cave,

396: and others adorning it with gold, silver and precious stones.

397: In the third chamber was an Eagle with wings and feathers of air; he caused the inside of the cave to be infinite;
