William Blake Quotation

[I_Didn't_Do_It]

Hi,
I realise this message may be coming a little late, but I think that quote might be from his book "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell".
I'm not 100% sure but it's worth taking a look at.

All the best!

It's great to see you back!

The quote there is:

If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite.

Etruscan mythology, later adopted by the Romans, has the two-faced figure Janus as the mythical guardian of a door between the known and the unknown. Ganesh has a similar function in the Vedic Indian tradition. So, I don't think you can attribute the phrase given above to any author, just a particular paraphrase of the myth. The version above seems to be from Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, which was often quoted by Huxley and Morrison.
