Biblical typology
Blake's limit of opacity taken as the measure of the descent: God, becoming man, contracts himself to this very limit, so that living in this state may be called the very grave of man. The contraction is deliberate and it is the whole condition of the return - God became man, that man, awakening, may become God.
