being contextualized

Recently, I grab a William Blake’s verse in the Internet:

«Think in the morning. Act in the noon. Eat in the evening. Sleep in the night».

The guy who paste it considered this a good advice.

I read the sentence and I thought that it didn’t make sense. So, I decided to investigate.

You know what? It is included in a passage entitled “The voice of the devil”.

So, they are evil advices.

If you want to make them divine, you have to invert them:

“Eat in the morning. Sleep in the noon. Think in the evening. Act in the night.”

This would be the voice of God, from Blake’s point of view.
