A Memorable Fancy 1 Lyrics - Ulver

(plates 6-7) 

As I was walking among the fires of hell, delighted with the enjoyment of 

genius, which to angels look like torment and insanity, I collected some 

of their proverbs: thinking that as the saying used in a nation mark its 

character. So the proverbs of hell shew the nature of infernal wisdom 

better than any description of buildings or garments. When I came home: on 

the abyss of the five senses, where a flat sided steep frowns over the 

present world, I saw a mighty Devil folded in black clouds, hovering on 

the sides of rock, with corroding fires He wrote the following sentence 

now perceived by the minds of men & read by them on earth: how do you know 

bu ev'ry bird that cuts the airy way, is an immense world of delight, 

clos'd by your senses five?
