“…There are other critics who have focused on Beulah and make some other inferences a little different from Frye. So, it even seems to be "that inter-world between Time and Eternity" (Raine 1991). There would be another discussion similar to Lorraine Clark who claims "Blake thinks of creating something between these two which keeps the contraries in order to dissolute them into pure Becoming".…”

Blake há muito é considerado um inconveniente entre os críticos ecocríticos e muitos ambientalistas afirmam que ele não pode ser considerado um poeta consciente e ecocrítico. Ao mesmo tempo, há outros críticos que tentam manipular e ignorar algumas das representações negativas da natureza de Blake e mostram que ele pode ser incluído em leituras ecocríticas da era atual. O presente ensaio centra-se na 'Imanência Constante' e na 'Unidade da Existência' de Ibn Arabi e nas noções de 'Correspondência' e 'Influxo' de Emanuel Swedenborg para desenterrar a correlação existente há muito tempo entre a espécie humana e a sua posição em relação à natureza em Poesia selecionada de Blake. Promover tal ponto de vista ecocrítico baseado nas percepções filosófic as de Ibn Arabi e Swedenborg na poesia selecionada de Blake pode revelar a total submissão à consciência espiritual, já que esta ideologia centrada em Deus não permite nada, exceto a reverência ao meio ambiente, pois é o epítome de Deus, o criador absoluto.

“…Blake brings the unfallen (the Edenic life) and the fallen (life on earth) states into Beulah in the bothand system. This system challenges Kathleen Raine who discusses that Beulah is "that inter-world between Time and Eternity" [5]. Frye believes that Beulah is a reservoir of life or place of seed which every form of life dwells in before birth and after death [4], p. 228.…”

The Myth of Creation in William Blake's The Four Zoas

THEOLOGY

Northrop Frye knows the cyclic version of creation myth in his reading of The Four Zoas according to which the human lives in heaven unified with God, unfallen state; he then falls and loses the harmony had with God, fallen state; and he should restore the previous unfallen state in Apocalypse or Last Judgment. Unlike Fry, while thinking of Maurice Blanchot I argue that Blake has created a new myth of creation different from the cyclic one by focusing on what Blake calls Beulah as the stage intermediate between spiritual and physical existence. In the non-original state, Beulah is the state of perpetual creation beyond dialectic and dualism known in Eternity and the life on the earth, a sort of becoming. For Blake, this proves that entities are not created to be manifested in the state of independent selfhood, but they are in relation with the others. This makes both selfhood and indefiniteness simultaneously possible to exist. It is Beulah itself which is all and the only space of existence opening itself from within itself. All entities including God are in interrelationship while being in the process of interruption (acquiring selfhood) within continuation (interrelationship) simultaneously. This demonstrates Blake's new myth of creation avoiding the primal crisis of the cyclic myth of creation. He has also introduced a new idea of relationship.
