In Blake's view exposure to a material world where corruption and adherence to religious dogma prevail over mercy brings the loss of innocence. Wisdom he felt could only be gained through our own liberty and self-discovery. Art, he felt, provided insight into the world and was potentially redemptive for humanity. In his search for wisdom, Blake rejected mere scientific and artistic speculation but instead sought the demanding surety available from the wellspring of the imaginative spirit.
For Blake, life, death and resurrection belong to a single spiritual realm - are part of a totality.
PS. Any ideas?
