However, as Robert F. Gleckner pointed out, β€œin the world of experience such a human-divine imaginative unity is shattered, for the Blakean fall, as is well known, is a fall into division, fragmentation, each fragment assuming for itself the importance (and hence the benefits) of the whole.

Gleckner concluded his analysis with the statement that the poem "The Human Abstract", as a whole, is β€œa remarkably ambitious experiment in progressive enrichment, and a revealing document for the study of Blake's two contrary states of the human soul.”
