"The VITRIOL emblem stands as the most profound symbol of initiation, an alchemical formula that commands the seeker to “Visit the Interior of the Earth, and by Rectifying, Discover the Hidden Stone.” This cryptic phrase is more than a riddle—it is a roadmap to enlightenment, encoding the process of self-exploration, the confrontation of one’s shadow, and the purification necessary to attain spiritual mastery."

"‘Tiriel’, [Blake's] first attempt [at poetry], was only partly successful – which is probably why, though made the subject of several of his illustrations, it remained
in manuscript. There, more than in any of his subsequent works, he drew on recognizable sources for his nomenclature. Tiriel, the chief and eponymous character, derived his name from the quality figuring in alchemical works as ‘the intelligence of mercury’ and this is no doubt a key to the part he plays in the poem’s plot, which can be viewed as an allegorical narrative about the loss of human visionary powers." - John Beer, 'William Blake: a Literary Life' (Palgrave Macmillan), p. 88.
