Beulah (Blake)

In William Blake's mythology, Beulah, originally Hebrew בְּעוּלָה (bə‘ūlāh, traditionally transliterated Beulah /ˈbjuːlə/ BEW-lə and meaning "married" or "espoused"), is "the realm of the Subconscious, the source of poetic inspiration and of dreams." It is also, according to Blake scholar Alexander S. Gourlay, "a dreamy paradise where the sexes, though divided, blissfully converse in shameless selflessness. Beulah is available through dreams and visions to those in , the utterly fallen world." Between Eternity and Ulro, it is imagined as a place without conflict similar to a conventional image of heaven or Eternity. However, for Blake, the idea of an everlasting peaceful Eternity is misguided and fallen.
