In the ![Proverbs from Hell](bib:ab1b95b7-6787-4e6d-8900-4f1282022270) from *The Marriage of Heaven and Hell*, William Blake offers us aphoristically: "Exuberance is beauty". It is an ambiguous proverb, gesturing towards indulgence and opulence as damned sins, in contrast to prudence and measuredness. Is Blake exalting decadence, foreshadowing the glimmer of Des Esseintes' bejeweled tortoise in the dining room's shadows? (![](bib:c00d21dd-9013-4cd6-b282-93694044dfdf)])
