William Blake's "Michael Binding the Dragon"

From WILLIAM BLAKE: The Seer and His Vissions, by Milton Klonsky, published by Harmony Books, New York.

Page 65:

"In accord with Blake's dialectic in "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, this picture may be interpreted as the copulation of Good and Evil. The two figures are so closely and conjugallly convolved, in an active-passive, yin-yang union with each other, that they form a design similar to the famous Chinese talisman....

Michael, binding the Dragon, has also been bound to him, and by the same chain."
