Sì, quella che ho pubblicato è una delle illustrazioni di Blake per la Divina Commedia

Magari mi sbaglio ma anche Blake sembra che si sia ispirato come lo sresso Dante alla roccia di Bismantova per alcune ullustrazioni.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions. It’s from the book of proverbs.
Today is Samuel Johnson birthday; born in 1709, he compiled the first English dictionary.
He’s a treasure house of wise sayings.

I am now seeing that it is paved with blazing hot stones and travelled upon by those who do not have any good intentions. I think they burn up. Nice share. This is my true to life biblical interpretation.

Great quote, I also find Blake very interesting, I often wonder that he was a complex person, his poems and art are very deep.
