The Mundane Shell is a vast Concave Earth, an immense Harden'd Shadow of all things upon our Vegetated Earth, Enlarg'd into Dimension and deform'd into indefinite Space, In Twenty-seven Heavens and all their Hells, with Chaos And Ancient Night and Purgatory. It is a cavernous Earth Of labyrinthine intricacy, twenty- seven folds of Opaqueness, And finishes where the lark mounts. William Blake
