:: this thing they call beulah </head> <br> <center> <img src="/images/nous.jpg"> </center> <br> <br> <center> song of beulah is trying to experience innocence through experience. <br> it is inspired by the mythology of <a href="http://www.blakearchive.org/blake/">william blake</a>, specifically beulah, world of the lover and the loved one. Beulah ("married" in Hebrew) is one of names given to Jerusalem when it is rejoined to God after the exile. Beulah is an idealized place without conflict, the conventional image of heaven or Eternity where all is at peace and all are one. This notion of Eternity is fallen. Beulah offers an escape from the energetic effort and creative conflict of Eternity. It is a place to rest, but also it is a temptation to escape the demands of Eternity. It stands between Eternity and Ulro. Its inhabitants, the daughters of Beulah, remember eternity and act as muses for the poets who dwell in Ulro. There is a detailed description of Beulah in Milton 30.1-31.11, which will be my primary source. <p> hello my name is <a href="http://www.pomofrag.org">david</a> </center> </html>
