The Voice of the Devil
- Title
- The Voice of the Devil
- Student Commentary:
- The artwork on this plate from The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1960 facsimile) is concentrated at the bottom, as the text takes up the majority of the space. The landscape is divided between two different forces of nature. On the left, dark seas rage beneath a burning yellow sun with a red center. On the right, flames blaze fervently and dark smoke clouds the background. The words “The voice of the Devil” are, ironically, surrounded by naked angels whose horns seem to herald the following poetry. The sky behind the angels is a pastel yellow.
