The problem of evil--how to account for and respond to the existence of pain, suffering, and death in the world--is a preoccupation of William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. Please tell me what does Blake say about the idea of pain in his MARRIAGE OF HEAVEN AND HELL.

I didn't read this book, pain in the first place, is our best friend, because it tells us the location, where to care for. second it's a blessing in the sense that our karma has ripened and we are about to loose through this pain a bad deed we have committed in our previous lives, so it dissolves.
