Blake, Jerusalem 77 ('To the Christians'): 'I know of no other Christianity and of no other Gospel than the liberty both of body & mind to exercise the Divine Arts of Imagination: Imagination, the real & eternal World of which this Vegetable Universe is but a faint shadow, & in which we shall live in our Eternal or Imaginative Bodies when these Vegetable Mortal Bodies are no more.' Neville's statement of what religion is: the exercise of imagination, the real world, of which this one is the shadow.
