Because Blake addresses the theme of generation most directly and fully in his illuminated books‚ it is important to consider here the principles guiding the interpretation of his art. Blake’s illustrations for The Divine Comedy are particularly revealing of Blake’s view of his own art‚ revealing how for him art and text were at all times part of a continuous whole.

Man can do good or evil but he always makes it with a unique purpose‚ his personal satisfaction‚ because it is simply in his nature.
