Summary

This quote by William Blake suggests that our perceptions of the world are limited and distorted by our own preconceived notions and prejudices. If we could cleanse our perceptions, we would be able to see the true essence and boundlessness of everything around us. However, humanity has confined itself within narrow perspectives, only seeing glimpses of the reality that lies beyond. It implies that to truly understand the world and grasp its infinite nature, one must liberate their mind from these limitations and approach things with an open and unbiased mindset.
