FZ1-9.15; E305| To Enion & her children & they ponderd these things wondring
FZ1-9.16; E305| And they Alternate kept watch over the Youthful terrors
FZ1-9.17; E305| They saw not yet the Hand Divine for it was not yet reveald
FZ1-9.18; E305| But they went on in Silent Hope & Feminine repose
FZ1-9.19; E305| But Los & Enitharmon delighted in the Moony spaces of Eno t470
FZ1-9.20; E305| Nine Times they livd among the forests, feeding n sweet fruits
FZ1-9.21; E305| And nine bright Spaces wanderd weaving mazes of delight

FZ1-9.28; E305| She could controll the spaces, regions, desart, flood & forest
FZ1-9.29; E305| But had no power to weave a Veil of covering for her Sins
FZ1-9.30; E305| She drave the Females all away from Los
FZ1-9.31; E305| And Los drave all the Males from her away
FZ1-9.32; E305| They wanderd long, till they sat down upon the margind sea.
FZ1-9.33; E305| Conversing with the visions of Beulah in dark slumberous bliss t472
FZ1-9.34; E305| But the two youthful wonders wanderd in the world of Tharmas t473
FZ1-9.35; E305| Thy name is Enitharmon; said the fierce prophetic boy t474
FZ1-9.36; E305| While thy mild voice fills all these Caverns with sweet harmony
FZ1-9.37; E305| O how our Parents sit & mourn in their silent secret bowers t475
FZ1-10.1; E305| But Enitharmon answerd with a dropping tear & frowning t476
FZ1-10.2; E305| Dark as a dewy morning when the crimson light appears t477
FZ1-10.3; E305| To make us happy let them weary their immortal powers t478
FZ1-10.4; E305| While we draw in their sweet delights while we return them scorn t479
FZ1-10.5; E305| On scorn to feed our discontent; for if we grateful prove
FZ1-10.6; E305| They will withhold sweet love, whose food is thorns & bitter roots.
FZ1-10.7; E305| We hear the warlike clarions we view the turning spheres t480
FZ1-10.8; E305| Yet Thou in indolence reposest holding me in bonds
FZ1-10.9; E305| Hear! I will sing a Song of Death! it is a Song of Vala! t481
FZ1-10.10; E305| The Fallen Man takes his repose: Urizen sleeps in the porch t482
FZ1-10.11; E305| Luvah and Vala woke & flew up from the Human Heart t483
FZ1-10.12; E305| Into the Brain; from thence upon the pillow Vala slumber'd.
FZ1-10.13; E305| And Luvah siez'd the Horses of Light, & rose into the Chariot of Day
FZ1-10.14; E305| Sweet laughter siezd me in my sleep! silent & close I laughd t484
FZ1-10.15; E305| For in the visions of Vala I walkd with the mighty Fallen One t485
FZ1-10.16; E305| I heard his voice among the branches, & among sweet flowers. t486
FZ1-10.17; E306| Why is the light of Enitharmon darken'd in dewy morn t487
FZ1-10.18; E306| Why is the silence of Enitharmon a terror & her smile a whirlwind t488
FZ1-10.19; E306| Uttering this darkness in my halls, in the pillars of my Holy-ones
FZ1-10.20; E306| Why dost thou weep as Vala? & wet thy veil with dewy tears, t489
FZ1-10.21; E306| In slumbers of my night-repose, infusing a false morning?
FZ1-10.22; E306| Driving the Female Emanations all away from Los t490
FZ1-10.23; E306| I have refusd to look upon the Universal Vision
FZ1-10.24; E306| And wilt thou slay with death him who devotes himself to thee t491
FZ1-10.25; E306| Once born for the sport & amusement of Man now born to drink up all his Powers
FZ1-11.1; E306| I heard the sounding sea; I heard the voice weaker and weaker;
FZ1-11.2; E306| The voice came & went like a dream, I awoke in my sweet bliss.
FZ1-11.3; E306| Then Los smote her upon the Earth twas long eer she revivd
FZ1-11.4; E306| He answer'd, darkning more with indignation hid in smiles t492
FZ1-11.5; E306| I die not Enitharmon tho thou singst thy Song of Death t493
FZ1-11.6; E306| Nor shalt thou me torment For I behold the Fallen Man t494
FZ1-11.7; E306| Seeking to comfort Vala, she will not be comforted t495
FZ1-11.8; E306| She rises from his throne and seeks the shadows of her garden
FZ1-11.9; E306| Weeping for Luvah lost, in the bloody beams of your false morning
FZ1-11.10; E306| Sickning lies the Fallen Man his head sick his heart faint t496
FZ1-11.11; E306| Mighty atchievement of your power! Beware the punishment
FZ1-11.12; E306| I see, invisible decend into the Gardens of Vala
FZ1-11.13; E306| Luvah walking on the winds, I see the invisible knife
FZ1-11.14; E306| I see the shower of blood: I see the swords & spears of futurity
FZ1-11.15; E306| Tho in the Brain of Man we live, & in his circling Nerves.
FZ1-11.16; E306| Tho' this bright world of all our joy is in the Human Brain.
FZ1-11.17; E306| Where Urizen & all his Hosts hang their immortal lamps
FZ1-11.18; E306| Thou neer shalt leave this cold expanse where watry Tharmas mourns
FZ1-11.19; E306| So spoke Los. Scorn & Indignation rose upon Enitharmon
FZ1-11.20; E306| Then Enitharmon reddning fierce stretchd her immortal hands t497
FZ1-11.21; E306| Descend O Urizen descend with horse & chariots
FZ1-11.22; E306| Threaten not me O visionary thine the punishment
FZ1-11.23; E306| The Human Nature shall no more remain nor Human acts
FZ1-11.24; E306| Form the rebellious Spirits of Heaven. but War & Princedom & Victory & Blood t498
FZ1-12.1; E306| Night darkend as she spoke! a shuddring ran from East to West t500
FZ1-12.2; E306| A Groan was heard on high. The warlike clarions ceast. the Spirits
FZ1-12.3; E306| Of Luvah & Vala shudderd in their Orb: an orb of blood!
FZ1-12.4; E306| Eternity groand & was troubled at the Image of Eternal Death
FZ1-12.5; E306| The Wandering Man bow'd his faint head and Urizen descended
FZ1-12.6; E306| And the one must have murderd the other if he had not descended t501
FZ1-12.7; E307| Indignant muttering low thunders; Urizen descended
FZ1-12.8; E307| Gloomy sounding, Now I am God from Eternity to Eternity
FZ1-12.9; E307| Sullen sat Los plotting Revenge. Silent he eye'd the Prince t502
FZ1-12.10; E307| Of Light. Silent the prince of Light viewd Los. at length a brooded t503
FZ1-12.11; E307| Smile broke from Urizen for Enitharmon brightend more & more
FZ1-12.12; E307| Sullen he lowerd on Enitharmon but he smild on Los
FZ1-12.13; E307| Saying Thou art the Lord of Luvah into thine hands I give
FZ1-12.14; E307| The prince of Love the murderer his soul is in thine hands
FZ1-12.15; E307| Pity not Vala for she pitied not the Eternal Man
FZ1-12.16; E307| Nor pity thou the cries of Luvah. Lo these starry hosts
FZ1-12.17; E307| They are thy servants if thou wilt obey my awful Law
FZ1-12.18; E307| Los answerd furious art thou one of those who when most complacent

FZ1-12.20; E307| One must be master. try thy Arts I also will try mine
FZ1-12.21; E307| For I percieve Thou hast Abundance which I claim as mine
FZ1-12.22; E307| Urizen startled stood but not Long soon he cried
FZ1-12.23; E307| Obey my voice young Demon I am God from Eternity to Eternity
FZ1-12.24; E307| Thus Urizen spoke collected in himself in awful pride
FZ1-12.25; E307| Art thou a visionary of Jesus the soft delusion of Eternity
FZ1-12.26; E307| Lo I am God the terrible destroyer & not the Saviour
FZ1-12.27; E307| Why should the Divine Vision compell the sons of Eden
FZ1-12.28; E307| to forego each his own delight to war against his Spectre t504
FZ1-12.29; E307| The Spectre is the Man the rest is only delusion & fancy
FZ1-12.30; E307| So spoke the Prince of Light & sat beside the Seat of Los

FZ2-31.5; E320| Among these flames incessant labouring, our hard masters laugh
FZ2-31.6; E320| At all our sorrow. We are made to turn the wheel for water

FZ2-31.8; E320| The sand & ashes, & to mix the clay with tears & repentance
FZ2-31.9; E320| I see not Luvah as of old I only see his feet t588
FZ2-31.10; E320| Like pillars of fire travelling thro darkness & non entity

FZ2-31.14; E321| Furrowd with whips, & our flesh bruised with the heavy basket
FZ2-31.15; E321| Forgive us O thou piteous one whom we have offended, forgive
FZ2-31.16; E321| The weak remaining shadow of Vala that returns in sorrow to thee.
FZ2-31.17; E321| Thus she lamented day & night, compelld to labour & sorrow
FZ2-31.18; E321| Luvah in vain her lamentations heard; in vain his love
FZ2-31.19; E321| Brought him in various forms before her still she knew him not

FZ2-34.45; E323| In strong vibrations of fierce jealousy for thou art mine
FZ2-34.46; E323| Created for my will my slave tho strong tho I am weak
FZ2-34.47; E323| Farewell the God calls me away I depart in my sweet bliss
FZ2-34.48; E323| She fled vanishing on the wind And left a dead cold corse
FZ2-34.49; E323| In Los's arms howlings began over the body of death t618
FZ2-34.50; E323| Los spoke. Thy God in vain shall call thee if by my strong power
FZ2-34.51; E323| I can infuse my dear revenge into his glowing breast
FZ2-34.52; E323| Then jealousy shall shadow all his mountains & Ahania
FZ2-34.53; E323| Curse thee thou plague of woful Los & seek revenge on thee
FZ2-34.54; E323| So saying in deep sobs he languishd till dead he also fell
FZ2-34.55; E323| Night passd & Enitharmon eer the dawn returnd in bliss
FZ2-34.56; E323| She sang Oer Los reviving him to Life his groans were terrible t619
FZ2-34.57; E323| But thus she sang. I sieze the sphery harp I strike the strings
FZ2-34.58; E323| At the first Sound the Golden sun arises from the Deep
FZ2-34.59; E323| And sakes his awful hair
FZ2-34.60; E323| The Eccho wakes the moon to unbind her silver locks
FZ2-34.61; E323| The golden sun bears on my song
FZ2-34.62; E323| And nine bright spheres of harmony rise round the fiery King
FZ2-34.63; E324| The joy of woman is the Death of her most best beloved
FZ2-34.64; E324| Who dies for Love of her
FZ2-34.65; E324| In torments of fierce jealousy & pangs of adoration.
FZ2-34.66; E324| The Lovers night bears on my song
FZ2-34.67; E324| And the nine Spheres rejoice beneath my powerful controll
FZ2-34.68; E324| They sing unceasing to the notes of my immortal hand
FZ2-34.69; E324| The solemn silent moon
FZ2-34.70; E324| Reverberates the living harmony upon my limbs
FZ2-34.71; E324| The birds & beasts rejoice & play
FZ2-34.72; E324| And every one seeks for his mate to prove his inmost joy
FZ2-34.73; E324| Furious & terrible they sport & rend the nether deeps
FZ2-34.74; E324| The deep lifts up his rugged head
FZ2-34.75; E324| And lost in infinite hum[m]ing wings vanishes with a cry
FZ2-34.76; E324| The fading cry is ever dying
FZ2-34.77; E324| The living voice is ever living in its inmost joy
FZ2-34.78; E324| Arise you little glancing wings & sing your infant joy
FZ2-34.79; E324| Arise & drink your bliss
FZ2-34.80; E324| For every thing that lives is holy for the source of life
FZ2-34.81; E324| Descends to be a weeping babe
FZ2-34.82; E324| For the Earthworm renews the moisture of the sandy plain
FZ2-34.83; E324| Now my left hand I stretch to earth beneath
FZ2-34.84; E324| And strike the terrible string
FZ2-34.85; E324| I wake sweet joy in dens of sorrow & I plant a smile
FZ2-34.86; E324| In forests of affliction
FZ2-34.87; E324| And wake the bubbling springs of life in regions of dark death
FZ2-34.88; E324| O I am weary lay thine hand upon me or I faint
FZ2-34.89; E324| I faint beneath these beams of thine
FZ2-34.90; E324| For thou hast touchd my five senses & they answerd thee
FZ2-34.91; E324| Now I am nothing & I sink
FZ2-34.92; E324| And on the bed of silence sleep till thou awakest me
FZ2-34.93; E324| Thus sang the Lovely one in Rapturous delusive trance
FZ2-34.94; E324| Los heard reviving he siezd her in his arms delusive hopes t620
FZ2-34.95; E324| Kindling She led him int Shadows & thence fled outstretchd
FZ2-34.96; E324| Upon the immense like a bright rainbow weeping & smiling & fading
FZ2-34.97; E324| Thus livd Los driving Enion far into the deathful infinite t621
FZ2-34.98; E324| That he may also draw Ahania's spirit into her Vortex
FZ2-34.99; E324| Ah happy blindness Enion sees not the terrors of the uncertain t622
FZ2-34.100; E324| Thus Enion wails from the dark deep, the golden heavens tremble t623
FZ2-35.1; E324| I am made to sow the thistle for wheat; the nettle for a nourishing dainty
FZ2-35.2; E325| I have planted a false oath in the earth, it has brought forth a poison tree
FZ2-35.3; E325| I have chosen the serpent for a councellor & the dog
FZ2-35.4; E325| For a schoolmaster to my children
FZ2-35.5; E325| I have blotted out from light & living the dove & nightingale
FZ2-35.6; E325| And I have caused the earth worm to beg from door to door
FZ2-35.7; E325| I have taught the thief a secret path into the house of the just
FZ2-35.8; E325| I have taught pale artifice to spread his nets upon the morning
FZ2-35.9; E325| My heavens are brass my earth is iron my moon a clod of clay
FZ2-35.10; E325| My sun a pestilence burning at noon & a vapour of death in night
FZ2-35.11; E325| What is the price of Experience do men buy it for a song
FZ2-35.12; E325| Or wisdom for a dance in the street? No it is bought with the price
FZ2-35.13; E325| Of all that a man hath his house his wife his children
FZ2-35.14; E325| Wisdom is sold in the desolate market where none come to buy
FZ2-35.15; E325| And in the witherd field where the farmer plows for bread in vain
FZ2-35.16; E325| It is an easy thing to triumph in the summers sun
FZ2-35.17; E325| And in the vintage & to sing on the waggon loaded with corn
FZ2-35.18; E325| It is an easy thing to talk of patience to the afflicted
FZ2-35.19; E325| To speak the laws of prudence to the houseless wanderer
FZ2-36.1; E325| To listen to the hungry ravens cry in wintry season
FZ2-36.2; E325| When the red blood is filld with wine & with the marrow of lambs
FZ2-36.3; E325| It is an easy thing to laugh at wrathful elements
FZ2-36.4; E325| To hear the dog howl at the wintry door, the ox in the slaughter house moan
FZ2-36.5; E325| To see a god on every wind & a blessing on every blast
FZ2-36.6; E325| To hear sounds of love in the thunder storm that destroys our enemies house
FZ2-36.7; E325| To rejoice in the blight that covers his field, & the sickness that cuts off his children
FZ2-36.8; E325| While our olive & vine sing & laugh round our door & our children bring fruits & flowers
FZ2-36.9; E325| Then the groan & the dolor are quite forgotten & the slave grinding at the mill
FZ2-36.10; E325| And the captive in chains & the poor in the prison, & the soldier in the field
FZ2-36.11; E325| When the shatterd bone hath laid him groaning among the happier dead
FZ2-36.12; E325| It is an easy thing to rejoice in the tents of prosperity
FZ2-36.13; E325| Thus could I sing & thus rejoice, but it is not so with me!
FZ2-36.14; E325| Ahania heard the Lamentation & a swift Vibration t624
FZ2-36.15; E325| Spread thro her Golden frame. She rose up eer the dawn of day
FZ2-36.16; E326| When Urizen slept on his couch. drawn thro unbounded space
FZ2-36.17; E326| Onto the margin of Non Entity the bright Female came
FZ2-36.18; E326| There she beheld the Spectrous form of Enion in the Void t625

FZ3-37.3; E326| O Urizen look on Me. like a mournful stream t627
FZ3-37.4; E326| I Embrace round thy knees & wet My bright hair with my tears: t628
FZ3-37.5; E326| Why sighs my Lord! are not the morning stars thy obedient Sons
FZ3-37.6; E326| Do they not bow their bright heads at thy voice? at thy command
FZ3-37.7; E326| Do they not fly into their stations & return their light to thee
FZ3-37.8; E326| The immortal Atmospheres are thine, there thou art seen in glory
FZ3-37.9; E326| Surrounded by the ever changing Daughters of the Light
FZ3-37.10; E326| Why wilt thou look upon futurity darkning present joy t629
FZ3-37.11; E326| She ceas'd the Prince his light obscurd & the splendors of his crown
FZ3-38.1; E326| Infolded in thick clouds, from whence his mighty voice burst forth
FZ3-38.2; E326| O bright [Ahania] a Boy is born of the dark Ocean t630
FZ3-38.3; E326| Whom Urizen doth serve, with Light replenishing his darkness
FZ3-38.4; E326| I am set here a King of trouble commanded here to serve

FZ3-38.6; E326| All this is mine yet I must serve & that Prophetic boy
FZ3-38.7; E326| Must grow up to command his Prince but hear my determind Decree t631
FZ3-38.8; E326| Vala shall become a Worm in Enitharmons Womb t632
FZ3-38.9; E326| Laying her seed upon the fibres soon to issue forth
FZ3-38.10; E326| And Luvah in the loins of Los a dark & furious death
FZ3-38.11; E326| Alas for me! what will become of me at that dread time?
FZ3-38.12; E326| Ahania bow'd her head & wept seven days before the King
FZ3-38.13; E326| And on the eighth day when his clouds unfolded from his throne
FZ3-38.14; E326| She rais'd her bright head sweet perfumd & thus with heavenly voice
FZ3-38.15; E326| O Prince the Eternal One hath set thee leader of his hosts t633
FZ3-39.1; E326| Leave all futurity to him Resume thy fields of Light t634
FZ3-39.2; E326| Why didst thou listen to the voice of Luvah that dread morn

FZ3-39.4; E326| No longer now obedient to thy will thou art compell'd
FZ3-39.5; E326| To forge the curbs of iron & brass to build the iron mangers t635
FZ3-39.6; E326| To feed them with intoxication from the wine presses of Luvah
FZ3-39.7; E327| Till the Divine Vision & Fruition is quite obliterated
FZ3-39.8; E327| They call thy lions to the fields of blood, they rowze thy tygers
FZ3-39.9; E327| Out of the halls of justice, till these dens thy wisdom framd
FZ3-39.10; E327| Golden & beautiful but O how unlike those sweet fields of bliss
FZ3-39.11; E327| Where liberty was justice & eternal science was mercy
FZ3-3912; E327| Then O my dear lord listen to Ahania, listen to the vision
FZ3-39.13; E327| The vision of Ahania in the slumbers of Urizen
FZ3-39.14; E327| When Urizen slept in the porch & the Ancient Man was smitten t636
FZ3-39.15; E327| The Darkning Man walkd on the steps of fire before his halls t637
FZ3-39.16; E327| And Vala walkd with him in dreams of soft deluding slumber
FZ3-39.17; E327| He looked up & saw thee Prince of Light thy splendor faded t638
FZ3-39.18; E327| But saw not Los nor Enitharmon for Luvah hid them in shadow t639
FZ3-40.1; E327| In a soft cloud Outstretch'd across, & Luvah dwelt in the cloud t640
FZ3-40.2; E327| Then Man ascended mourning into the splendors of his palace t641
FZ3-40.3; E327| Above him rose a Shadow from his wearied intellect t642
FZ3-40.4; E327| Of living gold, pure, perfect, holy; in white linen pure he hover'd
FZ3-40.5; E327| A sweet entrancing self delusion, a watry vision of Man
FZ3-40.6; E327| Soft exulting in existence all the Man absorbing
FZ3-40.7; E327| Man fell upon his face prostrate before the watry shadow
FZ3-40.8; E327| Saying O Lord whence is this change thou knowest I am nothing
FZ3-40.9; E327| And Vala trembled & coverd her face, & her locks. were spread on the pavement
FZ3-40.10; E327| I heard astonishd at the Vision & my heart trembled within me t643
FZ3-40.11; E327| I heard the voice of the Slumberous Man & thus he spoke t644
FZ3-40.12; E327| Idolatrous to his own Shadow words of Eternity uttering t645
FZ3-40.13; E327| O I am nothing when I enter into judgment with thee
FZ3-40.14; E327| If thou withdraw thy breath I die & vanish into Hades
FZ3-40.15; E327| If thou dost lay thine hand upon me behold I am silent
FZ3-40.16; E327| If thou withhold thine hand I perish like a fallen leaf
FZ3-40.17; E327| O I am nothing & to nothing must return again
FZ3-40.18; E327| If thou withdraw thy breath, behold I am oblivion
FZ3-40.19; E327| He ceasd: the shadowy voice was silent; but the cloud hoverd over their heads

FZ3-41.7; E327| Prophetic dreads urge me to speak. futurity is before me
FZ3-41.8; E328| Like a dark lamp. Eternal death haunts all my expectation
FZ3-41.9; E328| Rent from Eternal Brotherhood we die & are no more
FZ3-41.10; E328| I heard the Voice of Albion starting from his sleep t650
FZ3-41.11; E328| "Whence is this voice crying Enion that soundeth in my ears
FZ3-41.12; E328| O cruel pity! O dark deceit! can Love seek for dominion t651
FZ3-41.13; E328| And Luvah strove to gain dominion over the mighty Albion t652
FZ3-41.14; E328| They strove together above the Body where Vala was inclos'd
FZ3-41.15; E328| And the dark Body of Albion left prostrate upon the crystal pavement t653
FZ3-41.16; E328| Coverd with boils from head to foot. the terrible smitings of Luvah
FZ3-41.17; E328| Then frownd the Fallen Man & put forth Luvah from his presence t654
FZ3-41.18; E328| (I heard him: frown not Urizen: but listen to my Vision)
FZ3-42.1; E328| Saying, Go & die the Death of Man for Vala the sweet wanderer
FZ3-42.2; E328| I will turn the volutions of your Ears outward; & bend your Nostrils
FZ3-42.3; E328| Downward; & your fluxile Eyes englob'd, roll round in fear

FZ3-42.7; E328| O Urizen why art thou pale at the visions of Ahania t656
FZ3-42.8; E328| Listen to her who loves thee lest we also are driven away.
FZ3-42.9; E328| They heard the Voice & fled swift as the winters setting sun t657
FZ3-42.10; E328| And now the Human Blood foamd high, I saw that Luvah & Vala t658
FZ3-42.11; E328| Went down the Human Heart where Paradise & its joys abounded t659
FZ3-42.12; E328| In jealous fears in fury & rage, & flames roll'd round their fervid feet
FZ3-42.13; E328| And the vast form of Nature like a Serpent play'd before them
FZ3-42.14; E328| And as they went in folding fires & thunders of the deep
FZ3-42.15; E328| Vala shrunk in like the dark sea that leaves its slimy banks
FZ3-42.16; E328| And from her bosom Luvah fell far as the east & west
FZ3-42.17; E328| And the vast form of Nature like a Serpent roll'd between. t660

FZ3-42.20; E328| Do I not stretch the heavens abroad or fold them up like a garment
FZ3-42.21; E328| He spoke mustering his heavy clouds around him black opake
FZ3-43.1; E328| Then thunders rolld around & lightnings darted to & fro
FZ3-43.2; E328| His visage changd to darkness & his strong right hand came forth t662
FZ3-43.3; E328| To cast Ahania to the Earth be siezd her by the hair
FZ3-43.4; E328| And threw her from the steps of ice that froze around his throne

FZ3-43.10; E329| Thy passivity thy laws of obedience & insincerity
FZ3-43.11; E329| Are my abhorrence. Wherefore hast thou taken that fair form
FZ3-43.12; E329| Whence is this power given to thee! once thou wast in my breast
FZ3-43.13; E329| A sluggish current of dim waters. on whose verdant margin
FZ3-43.14; E329| A cavern shaggd with horrid shades. dark cool & deadly. where
FZ3-43.15; E329| I laid my head in the hot noon after the broken clods
FZ3-43.16; E329| Had wearied me. there I lad my plow & there my horses fed
FZ3-43.17; E329| And thou hast risen with thy moist locks into a watry image
FZ3-43.18; E329| Reflecting all my indolence my weakness & my death
FZ3-43.19; E329| To weigh me down beneath the grave into non Entity
FZ3-43.20; E329| Where Luvah strives scorned by Vala age after age wandering
FZ3-43.21; E329| Shrinking & shrinking from her Lord & calling him the Tempter
FZ3-43.22; E329| And art thou also become like Vala thus I cast thee out.
FZ3-43.23; E329| So loud in thunders spoke the King folded in dark despair
FZ3-43.24; E329| And threw Ahania from his bosom obdurate She fell like lightning
FZ3-43.25; E329| Then fled the sons of Urizen from his thunderous throne petrific
FZ3-43.26; E329| They fled to East & West & left the North & South of Heaven
FZ3-43.27; E329| A crash ran thro the immense The bounds of Destiny were broken

FZ3-43.30; E329| Triumphing even to the Stars at bright Ahanias fall
FZ3-43.31; E329| Down from the dismal North the Prince in thunders & thick clouds
FZ3-44.1; E329| As when the thunderbolt down falleth on the appointed place
FZ3-44.2; E329| Fell down down rushing ruining thundering shuddering t663
FZ3-44.3; E329| Into the Caverns of the Grave & places of Human Seed
FZ3-44.4; E329| Where the impressions of Despair & Hope enroot forever
FZ3-44.5; E329| A world of Darkness. Ahania fell far into Non Entity
FZ3-44.6; E329| She Continued falling. Loud the Crash continud loud & Hoarse
FZ3-44.7; E329| From the Crash roared a flame of blue sulphureous fire from the flame t664
FZ3-44.8; E329| A dolorous groan that struck with dumbness all confusion
FZ3-44.9; E329| Swallowing up the horrible din in agony on agony
FZ3-44.10; E329| Thro the Confusion like a crack across from immense to immense
FZ3-44.11; E329| Loud strong a universal groan of death louder
FZ3-44.12; E329| Than all the wracking elements deafend & rended worse
FZ3-44.13; E329| Than Urizen & all his hosts in curst despair down rushing
FZ3-44.14; E329| But from the Dolorous Groan on like a shadow of smoke appeard
FZ3-44.15; E329| And human bones rattling together in the smoke & stamping

FZ3-44.21; E330| Tharmas reard up his hands & stood on the affrighted Ocean
FZ3-44.22; E330| The dead reard up his Voice & stood on the resounding shore
FZ3-44.23; E330| Crying. Fury in my limbs. destruction in my bones & marrow
FZ3-44.24; E330| My skull riven into filaments. my eyes into sea jellies
FZ3-44.25; E330| Floating upon the tide wander bubbling & bubbling
FZ3-44.26; E330| Uttering my lamentations & begetting little monsters
FZ3-44.27; E330| Who sit mocking upon the little pebbles of the tide
FZ3-44.28; E330| In all my rivers & on dried shells that the fish
FZ3-45.1; E330| Have quite forsaken. O fool fool to lose my sweetest bliss
FZ3-45.2; E330| Where art thou Enion ah too near to cunning too far off

FZ3-45.8; E330| Till winter rends thee into Shivers as thou hast rended me
FZ3-45.9; E330| So Tharmas bellowd oer the ocean thundring sobbing bursting
FZ3-45.10; E330| The bounds of Destiny were broken & hatred now began
FZ3-45.11; E330| Instead of love to Enion. Enion blind & age bent
FZ3-45.12; E330| Plungd into the cold billows living a life in midst of waters
FZ3-45.13; E330| In terrors she witherd away to Entuthon Benithon
FZ3-45.14; E330| A world of deep darkness where all things in horrors are rooted
FZ3-45.15; E330| These are the words of Enion heard from the cold waves of despair

FZ4-49.4; E332| So Saying in a Wave he rap'd bright Enitharmon far
FZ4-49.5; E332| Apart from Los. but coverd her with softest brooding care
FZ4-49.6; E332| On a broad wave in the warm west. balming her bleeding wound

FZ4-50.11; E333| My loins begin to break forth into veiny pipes & writhe t679
FZ4-50.12; E333| Before me in the wind englobing trembling with strong vibrations
FZ4-50.13; E333| The bloody mass began to animate. I bending over
FZ4-50.14; E333| Wept bitter tears incessant. Still beholding how the piteous form
FZ4-50.15; E333| Dividing & dividing from my loins a weak & piteous

FZ4-50.17; E333| My counter part & calld it Love I named her Enitharmon
FZ4-50.18; E333| But found myself & her together issuing down the tide
FZ4-50.19; E333| Which now our rivers were become delving thro caverns huge
FZ4-50.20; E333| Of goary blood strugg[l]ing to be deliverd from our bonds
FZ4-50.21; E333| She strove in vain not so Urthona strove for breaking forth,
FZ4-50.22; E333| A shadow blue obscure & dismal from the breathing Nostrils
FZ4-50.23; E334| Of Enion I issued into the air divided from Enitharmon
FZ4-50.24; E334| I howld in sorrow I beheld thee rotting upon the Rocks
FZ4-50.25; E334| I pitying hoverd over thee I protected thy ghastly corse
FZ4-50.26; E334| From Vultures of the deep then wherefore shouldst thou rage
FZ4-50.27; E334| Against me who thee guarded in the night of death from harm
FZ4-50.28; E334| Tharmas replied. Art thou Urthona My friend my old companion,
FZ4-50.29; E334| With whom I livd in happiness before that deadly night
FZ4-50.30; E334| When Urizen gave the horses of Light into the hands of Luvah
FZ4-50.31; E334| Thou knowest not what Tharmas knows. O I could tell thee tales
FZ4-50.32; E334| That would enrage thee as it has Enraged me even
FZ4-50.33; E334| From Death in wrath & fury. But now come bear back
FZ4-50.34; E334| Thy loved Enitharmon. For thou hast her here before thine Eyes
FZ4-51.1; E334| But my sweet Enion is vanishd & I never more

FZ4-51.5; E334| Bind him, take Enitharmon for thy sweet reward while I
FZ4-51.6; E334| In vain am driven on false hope. hope sister of despair
FZ4-51.7; E334| Groaning the terror rose & drave his solid rocks before t681
FZ4-51.8; E334| Upon the tide till underneath the feet of Los a World
FZ4-51.9; E334| Dark dreadful rose & Enitharmon lay at Los's feet
FZ4-51.10; E334| The dolorous shadow joyd. weak hope appeard around his head
FZ4-51.11; E334| Tharmas before Los stood & thus the Voice of Tharmas rolld
FZ4-51.12; E334| Now all comes into the power of Tharmas. Urizen is falln
FZ4-51.13; E334| And Luvah hidden in the Elemental forms of Life & Death

FZ4-51.15; E334| Is God. The Eternal Man is seald never to be deliverd
FZ4-51.16; E334| I roll my floods over his body my billows & waves pass over him
FZ4-51.17; E334| The Sea encompasses him & monsters of the deep are his companions
FZ4-51.18; E334| Dreamer of furious oceans cold sleeper of weeds & shells
FZ4-51.19; E334| Thy Eternal form shall never renew my uncertain prevails against thee
FZ4-51.20; E334| Yet tho I rage God over all. A portion of my Life
FZ4-51.21; E334| That in Eternal fields in comfort wanderd with my flocks
FZ4-51.22; E334| At noon & laid her head upon my wearied bosom at night
FZ4-51.23; E334| She is divided She is vanishd even like Luvah & Vala t682
FZ4-51.24; E334| O why did foul ambition sieze thee Urizen Prince of Light t683
FZ4-51.25; E334| And thee O Luvah prince of Love till Tharmas was divided
FZ4-51.26; E334| And I what can I now behold but an Eternal Death
FZ4-51.27; E334| Before my Eyes & an Eternal weary work to strive
FZ4-51.28; E334| Against the monstrous forms that breed among my silent waves
FZ4-51.29; E334| Is this to be A God far rather would I be a Man
FZ4-51.30; E334| To know sweet Science & to do with simple companions
FZ4-51.31; E334| Sitting beneath a tent & viewing sheepfolds & soft pastures
FZ4-51.32; E335| Take thou the hammer of Urthona rebuild these furnaces
FZ4-51.33; E335| Dost thou refuse mind I the sparks that issue from thy hair
FZ4-52.1; E335| I will compell thee to rebuild by these my furious waves
FZ4-52.2; E335| Death choose or life thou strugglest in my waters, now choose life
FZ4-52.3; E335| And all the Elements shall serve thee to their soothing flutes
FZ4-52.4; E335| Their sweet inspiriting lyres thy labours shall administer
FZ4-52.5; E335| And they to thee only remit not faint not thou my son
FZ4-52.6; E335| Now thou dost know what tis to strive against the God of waters
FZ4-52.7; E335| So saying Tharmas on his furious chariots of the Deep
FZ4-52.8; E335| Departed far into the Unknown & left a wondrous void
FZ4-52.9; E335| Round Los. afar his waters bore on all sides round. with noise
FZ4-52.10; E335| Of wheels & horses hoofs & Trumpets Horns & Clarions t684
FZ4-52.11; E335| Terrified Los beheld the ruins of Urizen beneath
FZ4-52.12; E335| A horrible Chaos to his eyes. a formless unmeasurable Death
FZ4-52.13; E335| Whirling up broken rocks on high into the dismal air
FZ4-52.14; E335| And fluctuating all beneath in Eddies of molten fluid
FZ4-52.15; E335| Then Los with terrible hands siezd on the Ruind Furnaces
FZ4-52.16; E335| Of Urizen. Enormous work: he builded them anew
FZ4-52.17; E335| Labour of Ages in the Darkness & the war of Tharmas
FZ4-52.18; E335| And Los formd Anvils of Iron petrific. for his blows
FZ4-52.19; E335| Petrify with incessant beating many a rock. many a planet
FZ4-52.20; E335| But Urizen slept in a stoned stupor in the nether Abyss
FZ4-52.21; E335| A dreamful horrible State in tossings on his icy bed
FZ4-52.22; E335| Freezing to solid all beneath, his grey oblivious form

FZ4-53.4; E335| Of many wheels resistless in the power of dark Urthona

FZ4-53.10; E335| The lovely female howld & Urizen beneath deep groand
FZ4-53.11; E335| Deadly between the hammers beating grateful to the Ears
FZ4-53.12; E336| Of Los. absorbd in dire revenge he drank with joy the cries
FZ4-53.13; E336| Of Enitharmon & the groans of Urizen fuel for his wrath
FZ4-53.14; E336| And for his pity secret feeding on thoughts of cruelty
FZ4-53.15; E336| The Spectre wept at his dire labours when from Ladles huge t685
FZ4-53.16; E336| He pourd the molten iron round the limbs of Enitharmon
FZ4-53.17; E336| But when he pourd it round the bones of Urizen he laughd
FZ4-53.18; E336| Hollow upon the hollow wind. his shadowy form obeying
FZ4-53.19; E336| The voice of Los compelld he labourd round the Furnaces
FZ4-53.20; E336| And thus began the binding of Urizen day & night in fear
FZ4-53.21; E336| Circling round the dark Demon with howlings dismay & sharp blightings
FZ4-53.22; E336| The Prophet of Eternity beat on his iron links & links of brass

FZ4-53.26; E336| Ambiguous words blasphemous filld with envy firm resolvd
FZ4-53.27; E336| On hate Eternal in his vast disdain he labourd beating
FZ4-53.28; E336| The Links of fate link after link an endless chain of sorrows

FZ5-64.24; E344| & said Go forth & guide my Son who wanders on the ocean t727
FZ5-64.25; E344| I went not forth. I hid myself in black clouds of my wrath
FZ5-64.26; E344| I calld the stars around my feet in the night of councils dark
FZ5-64.27; E344| The stars threw down their spears & fled naked away

FZ5-64.32; E344| Thy children smote their fiery wings crownd with the gold of heaven
FZ5-65.1; E344| Thy pure feet stepd on the steps divine. too pure for other feet
FZ5-65.2; E344| And thy fair locks shadowd thine eyes from the divine effulgence
FZ5-65.3; E344| Then thou didst keep with Strong Urthona the living gates of heaven
FZ5-65.4; E344| But now thou art bound down with him even to the gates of hell
FZ5-65.5; E344| Because thou gavest Urizen the wine of the Almighty
FZ5-65.6; E344| For steeds of Light that they might run in thy golden chariot of pride
FZ5-65.7; E344| I gave to thee the Steeds I pourd the stolen wine
FZ5-65.8; E344| And drunken with the immortal draught fell from my throne sublime
FZ5-65.9; E344| I will arise Explore these dens & find that deep pulsation
FZ5-65.10; E344| That shakes my caverns with strong shudders. perhaps this is the night

FZ6-67.1; E344| So Urizen arose & leaning on his Spear explord his dens
FZ6-67.2; E344| He threw his flight thro the dark air to where a river flowd
FZ6-67.3; E345| And taking off his silver helmet filled it & drank
FZ6-67.4; E345| But when Unsatiated his thirst he assayd to gather more
FZ6-67.5; E345| Lo three terrific women at the verge of the bright flood
FZ6-67.6; E345| Who would not suffer him to approach. but drove him back with storms
FZ6-67.7; E345| Urizen knew them not & thus addressd the spirits of darkness
FZ6-67.8; E345| Who art thou Eldest Woman sitting in thy clouds
FZ6-67.9; E345| What is that name written on thy forehead? what art thou?
FZ6-67.10; E345| And wherefore dost thou pour this water forth in sighs & care
FZ6-67.11; E345| She answerd not but filld her urn & pourd it forth abroad
FZ6-67.12; E345| Answerest thou not said Urizen. then thou maist answer me
FZ6-67.13; E345| Thou terrible woman clad in blue, whose strong attractive power
FZ6-67.14; E345| Draws all into a fountain at the rock of thy attraction
FZ6-67.15; E345| With frowning brow thou sittest mistress of these mighty waters
FZ6-67.16; E345| She answerd not but stretchd her arms & threw her limbs abroad
FZ6-67.17; E345| Or wilt thou answer youngest Woman clad in shining green t730
FZ6-67.18; E345| With labour & care thou dost divide the current into four t731
FZ6-67.19; E345| Queen of these dreadful rivers speak & let me hear thy voice
FZ6-68.1; E345| They reard up a wall of rocks and Urizen raisd his spear. t732
FZ6-68.2; E345| They gave a scream, they knew their father Urizen knew his daughters
FZ6-68.3; E345| They shrunk into their channels. dry the rocky strand beneath his feet
FZ6-68.4; E345| Hiding themselves in rocky forms from the Eyes of Urizen
FZ6-68.5; E345| Then Urizen wept & thus his lamentation poured forth
FZ6-68.6; E345| O horrible O dreadful state! those whom I loved best
FZ6-68.7; E345| On whom I pourd the beauties of my light adorning them
FZ6-68.8; E345| With jewels & precious ornament labourd with art divine
FZ6-68.9; E345| Vests of the radiant colours of heaven & crowns of golden fire
FZ6-68.10; E345| I gave sweet lillies to their breasts & roses to their hair
FZ6-68.11; E345| I taught them songs of sweet delight, I gave their tender voices
FZ6-68.12; E345| Into the blue expanse & I invented with laborious art
FZ6-68.13; E345| Sweet instruments of sound. in pride encompassing my Knees
FZ6-68.14; E345| They pourd their radiance above all. the daughters of Luvah Envied
FZ6-68.15; E345| At their exceeding brightness & the sons of eternity sent them gifts
FZ6-68.16; E345| Now will I pour my fry on them & I will reverse
FZ6-68.17; E345| The precious benediction. for their colours of loveliness
FZ6-68.18; E345| I will give blackness for jewels hoary frost for ornament deformity
FZ6-68.19; E345| For crowns wreathd Serpents for sweet odors stinking corruptibility
FZ6-68.20; E345| For voices of delight hoarse croakings inarticulate thro frost
FZ6-68.21; E345| For labourd fatherly care & sweet instruction. I will give
FZ6-68.22; E345| Chains of dark ignorance & cords of twisted self conceit
FZ6-68.23; E345| And whips of stern repentance & food of stubborn obstinacy
FZ6-68.24; E345| That they may curse Tharmas their God & Los his adopted son
FZ6-68.25; E346| That they may curse & worship the obscure Demon of destruction
FZ6-68.26; E346| That they may worship terrors & obey the violent
FZ6-68.27; E346| Go forth sons of my curse Go forth daughters of my abhorrence
FZ6-68.28; E346| Tharmas heard the deadly scream across his watry world
FZ6-68.29; E346| And Urizens loud sounding voice lamenting on the wind
FZ6-68.30; E346| And he came riding in his fury. froze to solid were his waves
FZ6-69.1; E346| Silent in ridges he beheld them stand round Urizen
FZ6-69.2; E346| A dreary waste of solid waters for the King of Light
FZ6-69.3; E346| Darkend his brows with his cold helmet & his gloomy spear
FZ6-69.4; E346| Darkend before him. Silent on the ridgy waves he took
FZ6-69.5; E346| His gloomy way before him Tharmas fled & flying fought
FZ6-69.6; E346| Crying. What & who art thou Cold Demon. art thou Urizen
FZ6-69.7; E346| Art thou like me risen again from death or art thou deathless
FZ6-69.8; E346| If thou art he my desperate purpose hear & give me death
FZ6-69.9; E346| For death to me is better far than life. death my desire
FZ6-69.10; E346| That I in vain in various paths have sought but still I live
FZ6-69.11; E346| The Body of Man is given to me I seek in vain to destroy
FZ6-69.12; E346| For still it surges forth in fish & monsters of the deeps
FZ6-69.13; E346| And in these monstrous forms I Live in an Eternal woe t733
FZ6-69.14; E346| And thou O Urizen art falln never to be deliverd
FZ6-69.15; E346| Withhold thy light from me for ever & I will withhold
FZ6-69.16; E346| From thee thy food so shall we cease to be & all our sorrows
FZ6-69.17; E346| End & the Eternal Man no more renew beneath our power t734
FZ6-69.18; E346| If thou refusest in eternal flight thy beams in vain
FZ6-69.19; E346| Shall pursue Tharmas & in vain shalt crave for food I will
FZ6-69.20; E346| Pour down my flight thro dark immensity Eternal falling
FZ6-69.21; E346| Thou shalt pursue me but in vain till starvd upon the void
FZ6-69.22; E346| Thou hangst a dried skin shrunk up weak wailing in the wind
FZ6-69.23; E346| So Tharmas spoke but Urizen replied not. On his way
FZ6-69.24; E346| He took. high bounding over hills & desarts floods & horrible chasms
FZ6-69.25; E346| Infinite was his labour without end his travel he strove
FZ6-69.26; E346| In vain for hideous monsters of the deeps annoyd him sore
FZ6-69.27; E346| Scaled & finnd with iron & brass they devourd the path before him
FZ6-69.28; E346| Incessant was the conflict. On he bent his weary steps
FZ6-69.29; E346| Making a path toward the dark world of Urthona. he rose
FZ6-69.30; E346| With pain upon the dreary mountains & with pain descended t735
FZ6-69.31; E346| And saw their grizly fears & his eyes sickend at the sight
FZ6-69.32; E346| The howlings gnashings groanings shriekings shudderings sobbings burstings
FZ6-69.33; E346| Mingle together to create a world for Los. In cruel delight
FZ6-70[1st].1; E346| Los brooded on the darkness. nor saw Urizen with a Globe of fire
FZ6-70[1st].2; E346| Lighting his dismal journey thro the pathless world of death
FZ6-70[1st].3; E347| Writing in bitter tears & groans in books of iron & brass
FZ6-70[1st].4; E347| The enormous wonders of the Abysses once his brightest joy
FZ6-70[1st].5; E347| For Urizen beheld the terrors of the Abyss wandring among
FZ6-70[1st].6; E347| The ruind spirits once his children & the children of Luvah
FZ6-70[1st].7; E347| Scard at the sound of their own sigh that seems to shake the immense
FZ6-70[1st].8; E347| They wander Moping in their heart a Sun a Dreary moon
FZ6-70[1st].9; E347| A Universe of fiery constellations in their brain
FZ6-70[1st].10; E347| An Eart of wintry woe beneath their feet & round their loins t736
FZ6-70[1st].11; E347| Waters or winds or clouds or brooding lightnings & pestilential plagues
FZ6-70[1st].12; E347| Beyond the bounds of their own self their senses cannot penetrate
FZ6-70[1st].13; E347| As the tree knows not what is outside of its leaves & bark
FZ6-70[1st].14; E347| And yet it drinks the summer joy & fears the winter sorrow
FZ6-70[1st].15; E347| So in the regions of the grave none knows his dark compeer
FZ6-70[1st].16; E347| Tho he partakes of his dire woes & mutual returns the pang
FZ6-70[1st].17; E347| The throb the dolor the convulsion in soul sickening woes t737
FZ6-70[1st].18; E347| The horrid shapes & sights of torment in burning dungeons & in
FZ6-70[1st].19; E347| Fetters of red hot iron some with crowns of serpents & some
FZ6-70[1st].20; E347| With monsters girding round their bosoms, Some lying on beds of sulphur
FZ6-70[1st].21; E347| On racks & wheels he beheld women marching oer burning wastes
FZ6-70[1st].22; E347| Of Sand in bands of hundreds & of fifties & of thousands strucken with
FZ6-70[1st].23; E347| Lightnings which blazed after them upon their shoulders in their march
FZ6-70[1st].24; E347| In successive vollies with loud thunders swift flew the King of Light
FZ6-70[1st].25; E347| Over the burning desarts Then the desarts passd. involvd in clouds
FZ6-70[1st].26; E347| Of smoke with myriads moping in the stifling vapours. Swift
FZ6-70[1st].27; E347| Flew the King tho flagd his powers labring. till over rocks
FZ6-70[1st].28; E347| And Mountains faint weary he wanderd. where multitudes were shut
FZ6-70[1st].29; E347| Up in the solid mountains & in rocks which heaved with their torments
FZ6-70[1st].30; E347| Then came he among fiery cities & castles built of burning steel
FZ6-70[1st].31; E347| Then he beheld the forms of tygers & of Lions dishumanizd men
FZ6-70[1st].32; E347| Many in serpents & in worms stretchd out enormous length
FZ6-70[1st].33; E347| Over the sullen mould & slimy tracks obstruct his way
FZ6-70[1st].34; E347| Drawn out from deep to deep woven by ribbd
FZ6-70[1st].35; E347| And scaled monsters or armd in iron shell or shell of brass
FZ6-70[st].36; E347| Or gold a glittering torment shining & hissing in eternal pain
FZ6-70[1st].37; E347| Some [as] columns of fire or of water sometimes stretchd out in heighth t738
FZ6-70[1st].38; E347| Sometimes in length sometimes englobing wandering in vain seeking for ease t739
FZ6-70[1st].39; E347| His voice to them was but an inarticulate thunder for their Ears
FZ6-70[1st].40; E347| Were heavy & dull & their eyes & nostrils closed up
FZ6-70[1st].41; E347| Oft he stood by a howling victim Questioning in words
FZ6-70[1st].42; E347| Soothing or Furious no one answerd every one wrapd up
FZ6-70[1st].43; E347| In his own sorrow howld regardless of his words, nor voice
FZ6-70[1st].44; E347| Of sweet response could he obtain tho oft assayd with tears
FZ6-70[1st].45; E347| He knew they were his Children ruind in his ruind world t740
FZ6-71[1st].1; E348| Oft would he stand & question a fierce scorpion glowing with gold
FZ6-71[1st].2; E348| In vain the terror heard not. then a lion he would Sieze
FZ6-71[1st].3; E348| By the fierce mane staying his howling course in vain the voice t741
FZ6-71[1st].4; E348| Of Urizen vain the Eloquent tongue. A Rock a Cloud a Mountain
FZ6-71[1st].5; E348| Were now not Vocal as in Climes of happy Eternity
FZ6-71[1st].6; E348| Where the lamb replies to the infant voice & the lion to the man of years
FZ6-71[1st].7; E348| Giving them sweet instructions Where the Cloud the River & the Field
FZ6-71[1st].8; E348| Talk with the husbandman & shepherd. But these attackd him sore
FZ6-71[1st].9; E348| Siezing upon his feet & rending the Sinews that in Caves
FZ6-71[1st].10; E348| He hid to recure his obstructed powers with rest & oblivion
FZ6-70[2nd].46; E348| Here he had time enough to repent of his rashly threatend curse
FZ6-70[2nd].47; E348| He saw them cursd beyond his Curse his soul melted with fear
FZ6-71[2nd].11; E348| He could not take their fetters off for they grew from the soul
FZ6-71[2nd].12; E348| Nor could he quench the fires for they flamd out from the heart
FZ6-71[2nd].13; E348| Nor cold he calm the Elements because himself was Subject
FZ6-71[2nd].14; E348| So he threw his flight in terror & pain & in repentant tears
FZ6-71[2nd].15; E348| When he had passd these southern terrors he approachd the East
FZ6-71[2nd].16; E348| Void pathless beaten With iron sleet & eternal hail & rain t742
FZ6-71[2nd].17; E348| No form was there no living thing & yet his way lay thro
FZ6-71[2nd].18; E348| This dismal world. he stood a while & lookd back oer his former
FZ6-71[2nd].19; E348| Terrific voyage. Hills & Vales of torment & despair
FZ6-71[2nd].20; E348| Sighing & Wiping a fresh tear. then turning round he threw
FZ6-71[2nd].21; E348| Himself into the dismal void. falling he fell & fell
FZ6-71[2nd].22; E348| Whirling in unresistible revolutions down & down
FZ6-71[2nd].23; E348| In the horrid bottomless vacuity falling failing falling
FZ6-71[2nd].24; E348| Into the Eastern vacuity the empty world of Luvah
FZ6-71[2nd].25; E348| The ever pitying one who seeth all things saw his fall
FZ6-71[2nd].26; E348| And in the dark vacuity created a bosom of clay t743
FZ6-71[2nd].27; E348| When wearied dead he fell his limbs reposd in the bosom of slime
FZ6-71[2nd].28; E348| As the seed falls from the sowers hand so Urizen fell & death
FZ6-71[2nd].29; E348| Shut up his powers in oblivion. then as the seed shoots forth
FZ6-71[2nd].30; E348| In pain & sorrow. So the slimy bed his limbs renewd
FZ6-71[2nd].31; E348| At first an infant weakness. periods passd he gatherd strength
FZ6-71[2nd].32; E348| But still in solitude he sat then rising threw his flight
FZ6-71[2nd].33; E348| Onward tho falling thro the waste of night & ending in death
FZ6-71[2nd].34; E348| And in another resurrection to sorrow & weary travel
FZ6-71[2nd].35; E348| But still his books he bore in his strong hands & his iron pen
FZ6-71[2nd].36; E348| For when he died they lay beside his grave & when he rose t744
FZ6-71[2nd].37; E348| He siezd them with a gloomy smile for wrapd in his death clothes t745
FZ6-71[2nd].38; E348| He hid them when he slept in death when he revivd the clothes
FZ6-71[2nd].39; E348| Were rotted by the winds the books remaind still unconsumd
FZ6-71[2nd].40; E349| Still to be written & interleavd with brass & iron & gold
FZ6-71[2nd].41; E349| Time after time for such a journey none but iron pens
FZ6-71[2nd].42; E349| Can write And adamantine leaves recieve nor can the man who goes
FZ6-72.1; E349| The journey obstinate refuse to write time after time
FZ6-72.2; E349| Endless had been his travel but the Divine hand him led t746
FZ6-72.3; E349| For infinite the distance & obscurd by Combustions dire
FZ6-72.4; E349| By rocky masses frowning in the abysses revolving erratic
FZ6-72.5; E349| Round Lakes of fire in the dark deep the ruins of Urizens world
FZ6-72.6; E349| Oft would he sit in a dark rift & regulate his books
FZ6-72.7; E349| Or sleep such sleep as spirits eternal wearied in his dark
FZ6-72.8; E349| Tearful & sorrowful state. then rise look out & ponder
FZ6-72.9; E349| His dismal voyage eyeing the next sphere tho far remote
FZ6-72.10; E349| Then darting into the Abyss of night his venturous limbs
FZ6-72.11; E349| Thro lightnings thunders earthquakes & concussions fires & floods
FZ6-72.12; E349| Stemming his downward fall labouring up against futurity
FZ6-72.13; E349| Creating many a Vortex fixing many a Science in the deep
FZ6-72.14; E349| And thence throwing his venturous limbs into the Vast unknown
FZ6-72.15; E349| Swift Swift from Chaos to chaos from void to void a road immense
FZ6-72.16; E349| For when he came to where a Vortex ceasd to operate
FZ6-72.17; E349| Nor down nor up remaind then if he turnd & lookd back
FZ6-72.18; E349| From whence he came twas upward all. & if he turnd and viewd
FZ6-72.19; E349| The unpassd void upward was still his mighty wandring
FZ6-72.20; E349| The midst between an Equilibrium grey of air serene
FZ6-72.21; E349| Where he might live in peace & where his life might meet repose
FZ6-72.22; E349| But Urizen said Can I not leave this world of Cumbrous wheels
FZ6-72.23; E349| Circle oer Circle nor on high attain a void
FZ6-72.24; E349| Where self sustaining I may view all things beneath my feet
FZ6-72.25; E349| Or sinking thro these Elemental wonders swift to fall
FZ6-72.26; E349| I thought perhaps to find an End a world beneath of voidness
FZ6-72.27; E349| Whence I might travel round the outside of this Dark confusion
FZ6-72.28; E349| When I bend downward bending my bead downward into the deep
FZ6-72.29; E349| Tis upward all which way soever I my course begin
FZ6-72.30; E349| But when A Vortex formd on high by labour & sorrow & care
FZ6-72.31; E349| And weariness begins on all my limbs then sleep revives
FZ6-72.32; E349| My wearied spirits waking then tis downward all which way
FZ6-72.33; E349| So ever I my spirits turn no end I find of all
FZ6-72.34; E349| O what a world is here unlike those climes of bliss
FZ6-72.35; E349| Where my sons gatherd round my knees O thou poor ruind world
FZ6-72.36; E349| Thou horrible ruin once like me thou wast all glorious
FZ6-72.37; E349| And now like me partaking desolate thy masters lot
FZ6-72.38; E349| Art thou O ruin the once glorious heaven are these thy rocks
FZ6-72.39; E349| Where joy sang in the trees & pleasure sported on the rivers
FZ6-73.1; E350| And laughter sat beneath the Oaks & innocence sported round
FZ6-73.2; E350| Upon the green plains & sweet friendship met in palaces
FZ6-73.3; E350| And books & instruments of song & pictures of delight
FZ6-73.4; E350| Where are they whelmd beneath these ruins in horrible destruction t747
FZ6-73.5; E350| And if Eternal falling I repose on the dark bosom
FZ6-73.6; E350| Of winds & waters or thence fall into a Void where air
FZ6-73.7; E350| Is not down falling thro immensity ever & ever
FZ6-73.8; E350| I lose my powers weakend every revolution till a death
FZ6-73.9; E350| Shuts up my powers then a seed in the vast womb of darkness
FZ6-73.10; E350| I dwell in dim oblivion. brooding over me the Enormous worlds
FZ6-73.11; E350| Reorganize me shooting forth in bones & flesh & blood
FZ6-73.12; E350| I am regenerated to fall or rise at will or to remain
FZ6-73.13; E350| A labourer of ages a dire discontent a living woe
FZ6-73.14; E350| Wandring in vain. Here will I fix my foot & here rebuild
FZ6-73.15; E350| Here Mountains of Brass promise much riches in their dreadful bosoms t748
FZ6-73.16; E350| So he began to dig form[ing] of gold silver & iron t749
FZ6-73.17; E350| And brass vast instruments to measure out the immense & fix
FZ6-73.18; E350| The whole into another world better suited to obey
FZ6-73.19; E350| His will where none should dare oppose his will himself being King
FZ6-73.20; E350| Of All & all futurity be bound in his vast chain
FZ6-73.21; E350| And the Sciences were fixd & the Vortexes began to operate
FZ6-73.22; E350| On all the sons of men & every human soul terrified
FZ6-73.23; E350| At the turning wheels of heaven shrunk away inward withring away
FZ6-73.24; E350| Gaining a New Dominion over all his sons & Daughters
FZ6-73.25; E350| & over the Sons & daughters of Luvah in the horrible Abyss
FZ6-73.26; E350| For Urizen lamented over them in a selfish lamentation
FZ6-73.27; E350| Till a white woof coverd his cold limbs from head to feet t750
FZ6-73.28; E350| Hair white as snow coverd him in flaky locks terrific
FZ6-73.29; E350| Overspreading his limbs. in pride he wanderd weeping
FZ6-73.30; E350| Clothed in aged venerableness obstinately resolvd
FZ6-73.31; E350| Travelling thro darkness & whereever he traveld a dire Web
FZ6-73.32; E350| Followd behind him as the Web of a Spider dusky & cold
FZ6-73.33; E350| Shivering across from Vortex to Vortex drawn out from his mantle of years
FZ6-73.34; E350| A living Mantle adjoind to his life & growing from his Soul
FZ6-73.35; E350| And the Web of Urizen stre[t]chd direful shivring in clouds
FZ6-73.36; E350| And uttering such woes such bursts such thunderings t751
FZ6-73.37; E350| The eyelids expansive as morning & the Ears
FZ6-73.38; E350| As a golden ascent winding round to the heavens of heavens
FZ6-73.39; E350| Within the dark horrors of the Abysses lion or tyger or scorpion
FZ6-74.1; E350| For every one opend within into Eternity at will
FZ6-74.2; E350| But they refusd because their outward forms were in the Abyss
FZ6-74.3; E351| And the wing like tent of the Universe beautiful surrounding all
FZ6-74.4; E351| Or drawn up or let down at the will of the immortal man
FZ6-74.5; E351| Vibrated in such anguish the eyelids quiverd
FZ6-74.6; E351| Weak & Weaker their expansive orbs began shrinking
FZ6-74.7; E351| Pangs smote thro the brain & a universal shriek
FZ6-74.8; E351| Ran thro the abysses rending the web torment on torment
FZ6-74.9; E351| Thus Urizen in sorrows wanderd many a dreary way
FZ6-74.10; E351| Warring with monsters of the Deeps in his most hideous pilgrimage
FZ6-74.11; E351| Till his bright hair scatterd in snows his skin barkd oer with wrinkles
FZ6-74.12; E351| Four Caverns rooting downwards their foundations thrusting forth
FZ6-74.13; E351| The metal rock & stone in ever painful throes of vegetation
FZ6-74.14; E351| The Cave of Orc stood to the South a furnace of dire flames
FZ6-74.15; E351| Quenchless unceasing. In the west the Cave of Urizen
FZ6-74.16; E351| For Urizen fell as the Midday sun falls down into the West
FZ6-74.17; E351| North stood Urthonas stedfast throne a World of Solid darkness
FZ6-74.18; E351| Shut up in stifling obstruction rooted in dumb despair
FZ6-74.19; E351| The East was Void. But Tharmas rolld his billows in ceaseless eddies
FZ6-74.20; E351| Void pathless beat with Snows eternal & iron hail & rain t752
FZ6-74.21; E351| All thro the caverns of fire & air & Earth, Seeking
FZ6-74.22; E351| For Enions limbs nought finding but the black sea weed & sickning slime
FZ6-74.23; E351| Flying away from Urizen that he might not give him food
FZ6-74.24; E351| Above beneath on all sides round in the vast deep of immensity
FZ6-74.25; E351| That he might starve the sons & daughters of Urizen on the winds
FZ6-74.26; E351| Making between horrible chasms into the vast unknown

FZ6-75.1; E351| Redoubling his immortal efforts thro the narrow vales
FZ6-75.2; E351| With difficulty down descending guided by his Ear
FZ6-75.3; E351| And by his globe of fire he went down the Vale of Urthona t754
FZ6-75.4; E351| Between the enormous iron walls built by the Spectre dark
FZ6-75.5; E352| Dark grew his globe reddning with mists & full before his path

FZ7a-80.26; E356| Los with ambitious fury that his race shall all devour
FZ7a-80.27; E356| Then Orc cried Curse thy Cold hypocrisy. already round thy Tree t770

FZ7a-80.41; E356| And I know thee is this the triumph this the Godlike State
FZ7a-80.42; E356| That lies beyond the bounds of Science in the Grey obscure
FZ7a-80.43; E356| Terrified Urizen heard Orc now certain that he was Luvah
FZ7a-80.44; E356| And Orc began to Organize a Serpent body t771
FZ7a-80.45; E356| Despising Urizens light & turning it into flaming fire
FZ7a-80.46; E356| Recieving as a poisond Cup Recieves the heavenly wine

FZ7a-80.51; E356| Nor knew the source of his own but thought himself the Sole author
FZ7a-81.1; E356| Of all his wandering Experiments in the horrible Abyss
FZ7a-81.2; E356| He knew that weakness stretches out in breadth & length he knew
FZ7a-81.3; E356| That wisdom reaches high & deep & therefore he made Orc

FZ7a-81.5; E356| He sufferd him to Climb that he might draw all human forms
FZ7a-81.6; E356| Into submission to his will nor knew the dread result
FZ7a-81.7; E356| Los sat in showers of Urizen watching cold Enitharmon t773
FZ7a-81.8; E356| His broodings rush down to his feet producing Eggs that hatching
FZ7a-81.9; E356| Burst forth upon the winds above the tree of Mystery
FZ7a-81.10; E356| Enitharmon lay on his knees. Urizen tracd his Verses
FZ7a-81.11; E356| In the dark deep the dark tree grew. her shadow was drawn down
FZ7a-81.12; E356| Down to the roots it wept over Orc. the Shadow of Enitharmon
FZ7a-81.13; E357| Los saw her stretchd the image of death upon his witherd valleys
FZ7a-81.14; E357| Her Shadow went forth & returnd Now she was pale as Snow
FZ7a-81.15; E357| When the mountains & hills are coverd over & the paths of Men shut up t774
FZ7a-81.16; E357| But when her spirit returnd as ruddy as a morning when
FZ7a-81.17; E357| The ripe fruit blushes into joy in heavens eternal halls t775
FZ7a-81.18; E357| Sorrow shot thro him from his feet it shot up to his head
FZ7a-81.19; E357| Like a cold night that nips the root & shatters off the leaves t776
FZ7a-81.20; E357| Silent he stood oer Enitharmon watching her pale face
FZ7a-81.21; E357| He spoke not he was Silent till he felt the cold disease
FZ7a-81.22; E357| Then Los mournd on the dismal wind in his jealous lamentation
FZ7a-81.23; E357| Why can I not Enjoy thy beauty Lovely Enitharmon
FZ7a-81.24; E357| When I return from clouds of Grief in the wandring Elements
FZ7a-81.25; E357| Where thou in thrilling joy in beaming summer loveliness
FZ7a-81.26; E357| Delectable reposest ruddy in my absence flaming with beauty
FZ7a-81.27; E357| Cold pale in sorrow at my approach trembling at my terrific
FZ7a-81.28; E357| Forehead & eyes thy lips decay lik roses in the spring t777
FZ7a-81.29; E357| How art thou Shrunk thy grapes that burst in summers vast Excess
FZ7a-81.30; E357| Shut up in little purple covering faintly bud & die
FZ7a-81.31; E357| Thy olive trees that pourd down oil upon a thousand hills
FZ7a-81.32; E357| Sickly look forth & scarcely stretch their branches to the plain
FZ7a-81.33; E357| Thy roses that expanded in the face of glowing morn
FZ7a-82.1; E357| Hid in a little silken veil scarce breathe & faintly shine
FZ7a-82.2; E357| Thy lilies that gave light what time the morning looked forth
FZ7a-82.3; E357| Hid in the Vales faintly lament & no one hears their voice
FZ7a-82.4; E357| All things beside the woful Los enjoy the delights of beauty
FZ7a-82.5; E357| Once how I sang & calld the beasts & birds to their delights
FZ7a-82.6; E357| Nor knew that I alone exempted from the joys of love
FZ7a-82.7; E357| Must war with secret monsters of the animating worlds
FZ7a-82.8; E357| O that I had not seen the day then should I be at rest
FZ7a-82.9; E357| Nor felt the stingings of desire nor longings after life
FZ7a-82.10; E357| For life is Sweet to Los the wretched to his winged woes
FZ7a-82.11; E357| Is given a craving cry that they may sit at night on barren rocks
FZ7a-82.12; E357| And whet their beaks & snuff the air & watch the opening dawn
FZ7a-82.13; E357| And Shriek till at the smells of blood they stretch their boney wings
FZ7a-82.14; E357| And cut the winds like arrows shot by troops of Destiny
FZ7a-82.15; E357| Thus Los lamented in the night unheard by Enitharmon
FZ7a-82.16; E357| For the Shadow of Enitharmon descended down the tree of Mystery
FZ7a-82.17; E357| The Spectre saw the Shade Shivering over his gloomy rocks

FZ7b-88.28; E361| Tharmas laughd furious among the Banners clothd in blood
FZ7b-88.29; E361| Crying As I will I rend the Nations all asunder rending
FZ7b-88.30; E361| The People, vain their combinations I will scatter them
FZ7b-88.31; E361| But thou O Son whom I have crowned and inthrond thee Strong
FZ7b-88.32; E361| I will preserve tho Enemies arise around thee numberless
FZ7b-88.33; E361| I will command my winds & they shall scatter them or call

FZ7b-89.3; E362| In war shalt thou bear rule in blood shalt thou triumph for me
FZ7b-89.4; E362| Because in times of Everlasting I was rent in sunder
FZ7b-89.5; E362| And what I loved best was divided among my Enemies
FZ7b-89.6; E362| My little daughters were made captives & I saw them beaten
FZ7b-89.7; E362| With whips along the sultry sands. I heard those whom I lovd t804
FZ7b-89.8; E362| Crying in secret tents at night & in the morn compelld
FZ7b-89.9; E362| To labour & behold my heart sunk down beneath
FZ7b-89.10; E362| In sighs & sobbings all dividing till I was divided t805
FZ7b-89.11; E362| In twain & lo my Crystal form that lived in my bosom
FZ7b-89.12; E362| Followd her daughters to the fields of blood they left me naked
FZ7b-89.13; E362| Alone & they refusd to return from the fields of the mighty
FZ7b-89.14; E362| Therefore I will reward them as they have rewarded me
FZ7b-89.15; E362| I will divide them in my anger & thou O my King
FZ7b-89.16; E362| Shalt gather them from out their graves & put thy fetter on them
FZ7b-89.17; E362| And bind them to thee that my crystal form may come to me
FZ7b-89.18; E362| So cried the Demon of the Waters in the Clouds of Los
FZ7b-89.19; E362| Outstretchd upon the hills lay Enitharmon clouds & tempests
FZ7b-89.20; E362| Beat round her head all night all day she riots in Excess
FZ7b-89.21; E362| But night or day Los follows War & the dismal moon rolls over her t806
FZ7b-89.22; E362| That when Los warrd upon the South reflected the fierce fires
FZ7b-89.23; E362| Of his immortal head into the North upon faint Enitharmon
FZ7b-89.24; E362| Red rage the furies of fierce Orc black thunders roll round Los
FZ7b-89.25; E362| Flaming his head like the bright sun seen thro a mist that magnifies
FZ7b-89.26; E362| His disk into a terrible vision to the Eyes of trembling mortals
FZ7b-89.27; E362| And Enitharmon trembling & in fear utterd these words
FZ7b-89.28; E362| I put not any trust in thee nor in thy glittering scales
FZ7b-89.29; E362| Thy eyelids are a terror to me & the flaming of thy crest
FZ7b-89.30; E362| The rushing of thy Scales confound me thy hoarse rushing scales
FZ7b-89.31; E362| And if that Los had not built me a tower upon a rock
FZ7b-89.32; E362| I must have died in the dark desart among noxious worms
FZ7b-89.33; E362| How shall I flee how shall I flee into the tower of Los
FZ7b-89.34; E362| My feet are turned backward & my footsteps slide in clay
FZ7b-89.35; E362| And clouds are closd around my tower my arms labour in vain
FZ7b-89.36; E362| Does not the God of waters in the wracking Elements
FZ7b-89.37; E362| Love those who hate rewarding with hate the Loving Soul
FZ7b-90.1; E362| And must not I obey the God thou Shadow of Jealousy
FZ7b-90.2; E362| I cry the watchman heareth not I pour my voice in roarings
FZ7b-90.3; E362| Watchman the night is thick & darkness cheats my rayie sight
FZ7b-90.4; E362| Lift up Lift up O Los awake my watchman for he sleepeth
FZ7b-90.5; E362| Lift up Lift up Shine forth O Light watchman thy light is out
FZ7b-90.6; E362| O Los unless thou keep my tower the Watchman will be slain
FZ7b-90.7; E362| So Enitharmon cried upon her terrible Earthy bed
FZ7b-90.8; E362| While the broad Oak wreathd his roots round her forcing his dark way
FZ7b-90.9; E363| Thro caves of death into Existence The Beech long limbd advancd
FZ7b-90.10; E363| Terrific into the paind heavens The fruit trees humanizing
FZ7b-90.11; E363| Shewd their immortal energies in warlike desperation
FZ7b-90.12; E363| Rending the heavens & earths & drinking blood in the hot battle
FZ7b-90.13; E363| To feed their fruit to gratify their hidden sons & daughters
FZ7b-90.14; E363| That far within the close recesses of their secret palaces
FZ7b-90.15; E363| Viewd the vast war & joyd wishing to vegetate
FZ7b-90.16; E363| Into the Worlds of Enitharmon Loud the roaring winds
FZ7b-90.17; E363| Burdend with clouds howl round the Couch sullen the wooly sheep
FZ7b-90.18; E363| Walks thro the battle Dark & fierce the Bull his rage
FZ7b-90.19; E363| Propagates thro the warring Earth The Lion raging in flames t807
FZ7b-90.20; E363| The Tyger in redounding smoke The Serpent of the woods t808
FZ7b-90.21; E363| And of the waters & the scorpion of the desart irritate
FZ7b-90.22; E363| With harsh songs every living soul. The Prester Serpent runs
FZ7b-90.23; E363| Along the ranks crying Listen to the Priest of God ye warriors
FZ7b-90.24; E363| This Cowl upon my head he placd in times of Everlasting
FZ7b-90.25; E363| And said Go forth & guide my battles. lik the jointed spine
FZ7b-90.26; E363| Of Man I made thee when I blotted Man from life & light
FZ7b-90.27; E363| Take thou the seven Diseases of Man store them for times to come
FZ7b-90.28; E363| In store houses in secret places that I will tell the[e] of
FZ7b-90.29; E363| To be my great & awful curses at the time appointed
FZ7b-90.30; E363| The Prester Serpent ceasd the War song sounded loud & strong
FZ7b-90.31; E363| Thro all the heavens Urizens Web vibrated torment on torment t809
FZ7b-91[2nd].1; E363| Thus in the Caverns of the Grave & Places of human seed t811
FZ7b-91[2nd].2; E363| The nameless shadowy Vortex stood before the face of Orc
FZ7b-91[2nd].3; E363| The Shadow reard her dismal head over the flaming youth
FZ7b-91[2nd].4; E363| With sighs & howling & deep sobs that he might lose his rage
FZ7b-91[2nd].5; E363| And with it lose himself in meekness she embracd his fire
FZ7b-91[2nd].6; E363| As when the Earthquake rouzes from his den his shoulders huge
FZ7b-91[2nd].7; E363| Appear above the crumb[l]ing Mountain. Silence waits around him
FZ7b-91[2nd].8; E363| A moment then astounding horror belches from the Center
FZ7b-91[2nd].9; E363| The fiery dogs arise the shoulders huge appear
FZ7b-91[2nd].10; E363| So Orc rolld round his clouds upon the deeps of dark Urthona
FZ7b-91[2nd].11; E363| Knowing the arts of Urizen were Pity & Meek affection t812
FZ7b-91[2nd].12; E363| And that by these arts the Serpent form exuded from his limbs

FZ7b-91[2nd].15; E363| And the Harlot of Los & the deluded harlot of the Kings of Earth
FZ7b-91[2nd].16; E363| His soul was gnawn in sunder
FZ7b-91[2nd].17; E363| The hairy shoulders rend the links free are the wrists of fire
FZ7b-91[2nd].18; E363| Red rage redounds he rouzd his lions from his forests black
FZ7b-91[2nd].19; E363| They howl around the flaming youth rending the nameless shadow
FZ7b-91[2nd].20; E363| And running their immortal course thro solid darkness borne
FZ7b-91[2nd].21; E364| Loud sounds the war song round red Orc in his [?triumphant] fury t813
FZ7b-91[2nd].22; E364| And round the nameless shadowy Female in her howling terror

FZ7b-92.15; E364| To die a death of Six thousand years bound round with desolation
FZ7b-92.16; E364| The sun was black & the moon rolld a useless globe thro heaven

FZ7b-92.23; E364| Was as the workmanship of the plowman & the water wheel
FZ7b-92.24; E364| That raises water into Cisterns broken & burnd in fire
FZ7b-92.25; E364| Because its workmanship was like the workmanship of the Shepherd
FZ7b-92.26; E364| And in their stead intricate wheels invented Wheel without wheel
FZ7b-92.27; E364| To perplex youth in their outgoings & to bind to labours
FZ7b-92.28; E364| Of day & night the myriads of Eternity. that they might file
FZ7b-92.29; E364| And polish brass & iron hour after hour laborious workmanship
FZ7b-92.30; E364| Kept ignorant of the use that they might spend the days of wisdom
FZ7b-92.31; E364| In sorrowful drudgery to obtain a scanty pittance of bread

FZ7b-93.6; E365| Remember all thy feigned terrors on the secret Couch
FZ7b-93.7; E365| When the sun rose in glowing morn with arms of mighty hosts
FZ7b-93.8; E365| Marching to battle who was wont to rise with Urizens harps t817
FZ7b-93.9; E365| Girt as a Sower with his seed to scatter life abroad

FZ7b-93.11; E365| How ragd the golden horses of Urizen bound to the chariot of Love
FZ7b-93.12; E365| Compelld to leave the plow to the Ox to snuff up the winds of desolation
FZ7b-93.13; E365| To trample the corn fields in boastful neighings. this is no gentle harp
FZ7b-93.14; E365| This is no warbling brook nor Shadow of a Myrtle tree
FZ7b-93.15; E365| But blood & wounds & dismal cries & clarions of war
FZ7b-93.16; E365| And hearts laid open to the light by the broad grizly sword
FZ7b-93.17; E365| And bowels hidden in hammerd steel rippd forth upon the Ground t818
FZ7b-93.18; E365| Call forth thy Smiles of soft deceit call forth thy cloudy tears
FZ7b-93.19; E365| We hear thy sighs in trumpets shrill when Morn shall blood renew t819
FZ7b-93.20; E365| So sung the demons of the deep the Clarions of war blew loud t820
FZ7b-93.21; E365| Orc rent her & his human form consumd in his own fires
FZ7b-93.22; E365| Mingled with her dolorous members strewn thro the Abyss
FZ7b-93.23; E365| She joyd in all the Conflict Gratified & drinking tears of woe
FZ7b-93.24; E365| No more remaind of Orc but the Serpent round the tree of Mystery
FZ7b-93.25; E365| The form of Orc was gone he reard his serpent bulk among
FZ7b-93.26; E365| The stars of Urizen in Power rending the form of life t821
FZ7b-93.27; E365| Into a formless indefinite & strewing her on the Abyss
FZ7b-93.28; E365| Like clouds upon the winter sky broken with winds & thunders
FZ7b-93.29; E365| This was to her Supreme delight The Warriors mournd disappointed
FZ7b-93.30; E365| They go out to war with Strong Shouts & loud Clarions O Pity
FZ7b-93.31; E365| They return with lamentations mourning & weeping
FZ7b-93.32; E365| Invisible or visible drawn out in length or stretchd in breadth
FZ7b-93.33; E365| The Shadowy Female varied in the War in her delight
FZ7b-93.34; E365| Howling in discontent black & heavy uttering brute sounds
FZ7b-93.35; E365| Wading thro fens among the slimy weeds making Lamentations
FZ7b-93.36; E365| To decieve Tharmas in his rage to soothe his furious soul
FZ7b-93.37; E366| To stay him in his flight that Urizen might live tho in pain
FZ7b-93.38; E366| He said Art thou bright Enion is the Shadow of hope returnd
FZ7b-93.39; E366| And She said Tharmas I am Vala bless thy innocent face
FZ7b-93.40; E366| Doth Enion avoid the sight of thy blue watry eyes
FZ7b-93.41; E366| Be not perswaded that the air knows this or the failing dew
FZ7b-93.42; E366| Tharmas replid O Vala once I livd in a garden of delight
FZ7b-94.1; E366| I wakend Enion in the Morning & she turnd away
FZ7b-94.2; E366| Among the apple trees & all the gardens of delight
FZ7b-94.3; E366| Swam like a dream before my eyes I went to seek the steps
FZ7b-94.4; E366| Of Enion in the gardens & the shadows compassd me
FZ7b-94.5; E366| And closd me in a watry world of woe where Enion stood
FZ7b-94.6; E366| Trembling before me like a shadow like a mist like air
FZ7b-94.7; E366| And she is gone & here alone I war with darkness & death
FZ7b-94.8; E366| I hear thy voice but not thy form see. thou & all delight
FZ7b-94.9; E366| And life appear & vanish mocking me with shadows of false hope
FZ7b-94.10; E366| Hast thou forgot that the air listens thro all its districts telling
FZ7b-94.11; E366| The subtlest thoughts shut up from light in chambers of the Moon
FZ7b-94.12; E366| Tharmas. The Moon has chambers where the babes of love lie hid
FZ7b-94.13; E366| And whence they never can be brought in all Eternity
FZ7b-94.14; E366| Unless exposd by their vain parents. Lo him whom I love
FZ7b-94.15; E366| Is hidden from me & I never in all Eternity
FZ7b-94.16; E366| Shall see him Enitharmon & Ahania combind with Enion
FZ7b-94.17; E366| Hid him in that Outrageous form of Orc which torments me for Sin t822
FZ7b-94.18; E366| For all my Secret faults which he brings forth upon the light
FZ7b-94.19; E366| Of day in jealousy & blood my Children are led to Urizens war
FZ7b-94.20; E366| Before my eyes & for every one of these I am condemnd
FZ7b-94.21; E366| To Eternal torment in these flames for tho I have the power
FZ7b-94.22; E366| To rise on high Yet love here binds me down & never never
FZ7b-94.23; E366| Will I arise till him I love is loosd from this dark chain
FZ7b-94.24; E366| Tharmas replied Vala thy Sins have lost us heaven & bliss
FZ7b-94.25; E366| Thou art our Curse and till I can bring love into the light t823
FZ7b-94.26; E366| I never will depart from my great wrath
FZ7b-94.27; E366| So Tharmas waild wrathful then rode upon the Stormy Deep t824
FZ7b-94.28; E366| Cursing the Voice that mockd him with false hope in furious mood
FZ7b-94.29; E366| Then She returns swift as a blight upon the infant bud
FZ7b-94.30; E366| Howling in all the notes of woe to stay his furious rage
FZ7b-94.31; E366| Stamping the hills wading or swimming flying furious or falling
FZ7b-94.32; E366| Or like an Earthquake rumbling in the bowels of the earth
FZ7b-94.33; E366| Or like a cloud beneath & like a fire flaming in high
FZ7b-94.34; E366| Walking in pleasure of the hills or murmuring in the dales
FZ7b-94.35; E366| Like to a rushing torrent beneath & a falling rock above
FZ7b-94.36; E366| A thunder cloud in the south & a lulling voice heard in the north
FZ7b-94.37; E367| And she went forth & saw the forms of Life & of delight
FZ7b-94.38; E367| Walking on Mountains or flying in the open expanse of heaven
FZ7b-94.39; E367| She heard sweet voices in the winds & in the voices of birds
FZ7b-94.40; E367| That rose from waters for the waters were as the voice of Luvah
FZ7b-94.41; E367| Not seen to her like waters or like this dark world of death
FZ7b-94.42; E367| Tho all those fair perfections which men know only by name
FZ7b-94.43; E367| In beautiful substantial forms appeard & served her
FZ7b-94.44; E367| As food or drink or ornament or in delightful works
FZ7b-94.45; E367| To build her bowers for the Elements brought forth abundantly
FZ7b-94.46; E367| The living soul in glorious forms & every One came forth
FZ7b-94.47; E367| Walking before her Shadowy face & bowing at her feet
FZ7b-94.48; E367| But in vain delights were poured forth on the howling melancholy
FZ7b-94.49; E367| For her delight the horse his proud neck bowd & his white mane
FZ7b-94.50; E367| And the Strong Lion deignd in his mouth to wear the golden bit
FZ7b-94.51; E367| While the far beaming Peacock waited on the fragrant wind
FZ7b-94.52; E367| To bring her fruits of sweet delight from trees of richest wonders
FZ7b-94.53; E367| And the strong piniond Eagle bore the fire of heaven in the night season
FZ7b-94.54; E367| Wood & subdud into Eternal Death the Demon Lay
FZ7b-94.55; E367| In rage against the dark despair. the howling Melancholy t825
FZ7b-87[95][1st].1; E367| For far & wide she stretchd thro all the worlds of Urizens journey
FZ7b-87[95][1st].2; E367| And was Ajoind to Beulah as the Polypus to the Rock
FZ7b-87[95][1st].3; E367| Mo[u]rning the daughters of Beulah saw nor could they have sustaind
FZ7b-87[95][1st].4; E367| The horrid sight of death & torment But the Eternal Promise
FZ7b-87[95][1st].5; E367| They wrote on all their tombs & pillars & on every Urn
FZ7b-87[95][1st].6; E367| These words If ye will believe your B[r]other shall rise again
FZ7b-87[95][1st].7; E367| In golden letters ornamented with sweet labours of Love
FZ7b-87[95][1st].8; E367| Waiting with Patience for the fulfilment of the Promise Divine t826
FZ7b-87[95][1st].9; E367| And all the Songs of Beulah sounded comfortable notes
FZ7b-87[95][1st].10; E367| Not suffring doubt to rise up from the Clouds of the Shadowy Female
FZ7b-87[95][1st].11; E367| Then myriads of the Dead burst thro the bottoms of their tombs
FZ7b-87[95][1st].12; E367| Descending on the shadowy females clouds in Spectrous terror
FZ7b-87[95][1st].13; E367| Beyond the Limit of Translucence on the Lake of Udan Adan
FZ7b-87[95][1st].14; E367| These they namd Satans & in the Aggregate they namd them Satan
FZ7b-95[85][2nd].23; E367| Then took the tree of Mystery root in the World of Los
FZ7b-95[85][2nd].24; E367| Its topmost boughs shooting a fibre beneath Enitharmons couch t827
FZ7b-95[85][2nd].25; E367| The double rooted Labyrinth soon wavd around their heads
FZ7b-95[85][2nd].26; E367| But then the Spectre enterd Los's bosom Every sigh & groan t828
FZ7b-95[85][2nd].27; E367| Of Enitharmon bore Urthonas Spectre on its wings
FZ7b-95[85][2nd].28; E367| Obdurate Los felt Pity Enitharmon told the tale
FZ7b-95[85][2nd].29; E367| Of Urthona. Los embracd the Spectre first as a brother
FZ7b-95[85][2nd].30; E367| Then as another Self; astonishd humanizing & in tears
FZ7b-95[85][2nd].31; E367| In Self abasement Giving up his Domineering lust
FZ7b-95[85][2nd].32; E368| Thou never canst embrace sweet Enitharmon terrible Demon. Till

FZ7b-95[85][2nd].34; E368| That mortal body & by Self annihilation back returning t830
FZ7b-95[85][2nd].35; E368| To Life Eternal be assurd I am thy real Self
FZ7b-95[85][2nd].36; E368| Tho thus divided from thee & the Slave of Every passion
FZ7b-95[85][2nd].37; E368| Of thy fierce Soul Unbar the Gates of Memory look upon me t831
FZ7b-95[85][2nd].38; E368| Not as another but as thy real Self I am thy Spectre
FZ7b-95[85][2nd].39; E368| Thou didst subdue me in old times by thy Immortal Strength t832
FZ7b-95[85][2nd].40; E368| When I was a ravning hungring & thirsting cruel lust & murder
FZ7b-95[85][2nd].41; E368| Tho horrible & Ghastly to thine Eyes tho buried beneath t833
FZ7b-95[85][2nd].42; E368| The ruins of the Universe. hear what inspird I speak & be silent
FZ7b-95[85][2nd].43; E368| If we unite in one[,] another better world will be t834
FZ7b-95[85][2nd].44; E368| Opend within your heart & loins & wondrous brain
FZ7b-95[85][2nd].45; E368| Threefold as it was in Eternity & this the fourth Universe
FZ7b-95[85][2nd].46; E368| Will be Renewd by the three & consummated in Mental fires
FZ7b-95[85][2nd].47; E368| But if thou dost refuse Another body will be prepared
FZ7a-86.1; E368| For me & thou annihilate evaporate & be no more
FZ7a-86.2; E368| For thou art but a form & organ of life & of thyself
FZ7a-86.3; E368| Art nothing being Created Continually by Mercy & Love divine
FZ7a-86.4; E368| Los furious answerd. Spectre horrible thy words astound my Ear
FZ7a-86.5; E368| With irresistible conviction I feel I am not one of those
FZ7a-86.6; E368| Who when convincd can still persist. tho furious.controllable
FZ7a-86.7; E368| By Reasons power. Even I already feel a World within
FZ7a-86.8; E368| Opening its gates & in it all the real substances
FZ7a-86.9; E368| Of which these in the outward World are shadows which pass away
FZ7a-86.10; E368| Come then into my Bosom & in thy shadowy arms bring with thee
FZ7a-86.11; E368| My lovely Enitharmon. I will quell my fury & teach
FZ7a-86.12; E368| Peace to the Soul of dark revenge & repentance to Cruelty
FZ7a-86.13; E368| So spoke Los & Embracing Enitharmon & the Spectre
FZ7a-86.14; E368| Clouds would have folded round in Extacy & Love uniting
FZ7a-87.1; E368| But Enitharmon trembling fled & hid beneath Urizens tree
FZ7a-87.2; E368| But mingling together with his Spectre the Spectre of Urthona t835
FZ7a-87.3; E368| Wondering beheld the Center opend by Divine Mercy inspired t836
FZ7a-87.4; E368| He in his turn Gave Tasks to Los Enormous to destroy t837
FZ7a-87.5; E368| That body he created but in vain for Los performd Wonders of labour
FZ7a-87.6; E368| They Builded Golgonooza Los labouring builded pillars high t838
FZ7a-87.7; E368| And Domes terrific in the nether heavens for beneath
FZ7a-87.8; E368| Was opend new heavens & a new Earth beneath & within
FZ7a-87.9; E368| Threefold within the brain within the heart within the loins
FZ7a-87.10; E368| A Threefold Atmosphere Sublime continuous from Urthonas world t839
FZ7a-87.11; E368| But yet having a Limit Twofold named Satan & Adam
FZ7a-87.12; E369| But Los stood on the Limit of Translucence weeping & trembling
FZ7a-87.13; E369| Filled with doubts in self accusation beheld the fruit t840
FZ7a-87.14; E369| Of Urizens Mysterious tree For Enitharmon thus spake
FZ7a-87.15; E369| When In the Deeps beneath I gatherd of this ruddy fruit
FZ7a-87.16; E369| It was by that I knew that I had Sinnd & then I knew
FZ7a-87.17; E369| That without a ransom I could not be savd from Eternal death
FZ7a-87.18; E369| That Life lives upon Death & by devouring appetite
FZ7a-87.19; E369| All things subsist on one another thenceforth in Despair
FZ7a-87.20; E369| I spend my glowing time but thou art strong & mighty
FZ7a-87.21; E369| To bear this Self conviction take then Eat thou also of
FZ7a-87.22; E369| The fruit & give me proof of life Eternal or I die
FZ7a-87.23; E369| Then Los plucked the fruit & Eat & sat down in Despair
FZ7a-87.24; E369| And must have given himself to death Eternal But
FZ7a-87.25; E369| Urthonas spectre in part mingling with him comforted him
FZ7a-87.26; E369| Being a medium between him & Enitharmon But This Union
FZ7a-87.27; E369| Was not to be Effected without Cares & Sorrows & Troubles
FZ7a-87.28; E369| Of six thousand Years of self denial and of bitter Contrition t841
FZ7a-87.29; E369| Urthonas Spectre terrified beheld the Spectres of the Dead
FZ7a-87.30; E369| Each Male formd without a counterpart without a concentering vision
FZ7a-87.31; E369| The Spectre of Urthona wept before Los Saying I am the cause
FZ7a-87.32; E369| That this dire state commences I began the dreadful state
FZ7a-87.33; E369| Of Separation & on my dark head the curse & punishment
FZ7a-87.34; E369| Must fall unless a way be found to Ransom & Redeem t842
FZ7a-87.35; E369| But I have thee my [Counterpart Vegetating] miraculous t843
FZ7a-87.36; E369| These Spectres have no [Counter(parts)] therefore they ravin
FZ7a-87.37; E369| Without the food of life Let us Create them Coun[terparts]
FZ7a-87.38; E369| For without a Created body the Spectre is Eternal Death
FZ7a-87.39; E369| Los trembling answerd Now I feel the weight of stern repentance
FZ7a-87.40; E369| Tremble not so my Enitharmon at the awful gates
FZ7a-87.41; E369| Of thy poor broken Heart I see thee like a shadow withering
FZ7a-87.42; E369| As on the outside of Existence but look! behold! take comfort!
FZ7a-87.43; E369| Turn inwardly thine Eyes & there behold the Lamb of God
FZ7a-87.44; E369| Clothed in Luvahs robes of blood descending to redeem
FZ7a-87.45; E369| O Spectre of Urthona take comfort O Enitharmon
FZ7a-87.46; E369| Couldst thou but cease from terror & trembling & affright
FZ7a-87.47; E369| When I appear before thee in forgiveness of ancient injuries t844
FZ7a-87.48; E369| Why shouldst thou remember & be afraid. I surely have died in pain
FZ7a-87.49; E369| Often enough to convince thy jealousy & fear & terror t845
FZ7a-87.50; E369| Come hither be patient let us converse together because
FZ7a-87.51; E369| I also tremble at myself & at all my former life
FZ7a-87.52; E369| Enitharmon answerd I behold the Lamb of God descending
FZ7a-87.53; E369| To Meet these Spectres of the Dead I therefore fear that he
FZ7a-87.54; E370| Will give us to Eternal Death fit punishment for such
FZ7a-87.55; E370| Hideous offenders Uttermost extinction in eternal pain
FZ7a-87.56; E370| An ever dying life of stifling & obstruction shut out
FZ7a-87.57; E370| Of existence to be a sign & terror to all who behold
FZ7a-87.58; E370| Lest any should in futurity do as we have done in heaven
FZ7a-87.59; E370| Such is our state nor will the Son of God redeem us but destroy
FZ7a-98[90].1; E370| So Enitharmon spoke trembling & in torrents of tears
FZ7a-98[90].2; E370| Los sat in Golgonooza in the Gate of Luban where t847
FZ7a-98[90].3; E370| He had erected many porches where branchd the Mysterious Tree t848
FZ7a-98[90].4; E370| Where the Spectrous dead wail & sighing thus he spoke to Enitharmon
FZ7a-98[90].5; E370| Lovely delight of Men Enitharmon shady refuge from furious war t849
FZ7a-98[90].6; E370| Thy bosom translucent is a soft repose for the weeping souls
FZ7a-98[90].7; E370| Of those piteous victims of battle there they sleep in happy obscurity
FZ7a-98[90].8; E370| They feed upon our life we are their victims. Stern desire
FZ7a-98[90].9; E370| I feel to fabricate embodied semblances in which the dead
FZ7a-98[90].10; E370| May live before us in our palaces & in our gardens of labour t850
FZ7a-98[90].11; E370| Which now opend within the Center we behold spread abroad
FZ7a-98[90].12; E370| To form a world of Sacrifice of brothers & sons & daughters t851
FZ7a-98[90].13; E370| To comfort Orc in his dire sufferings[;] look[!] my fires enlume afresh
FZ7a-98[90].14; E370| Before my face ascending with delight as in ancient times
FZ7a-98[90].15; E370| Enitharmon spread her beaming locks upon the wind & said
FZ7a-98[90].16; E370| O Lovely terrible Los wonder of Eternity O Los my defence & guide t852
FZ7a-98[90].17; E370| Thy works are all my joy. & in thy fires my soul delights
FZ7a-98[90].18; E370| If mild they burn in just proportion & in secret night
FZ7a-98[90].19; E370| And silence build their day in shadow of soft clouds & dews
FZ7a-98[90].20; E370| Then I can sigh forth on the winds of Golgonooza piteous forms
FZ7a-98[90].21; E370| That vanish again into my bosom but if thou my Los
FZ7a-98[90].22; E370| Wilt in sweet moderated fury. fabricate forms sublime t853
FZ7a-98[90].23; E370| Such as the piteous spectres may assimilate themselves into
FZ7a-98[90].24; E370| They shall be ransoms for our Souls that we may live
FZ7a-98[90].25; E370| So Enitharmon spoke & Los his hands divine inspired began t854
FZ7a-98[90].26; E370| To modulate his fires studious the loud roaring flames
FZ7a-98[90].27; E370| He vanquishd with the strength of Art bending their iron points
FZ7a-98[90].28; E370| And drawing them forth delighted upon the winds of Golgonooza t855
FZ7a-98[90].29; E370| From out the ranks of Urizens war & from the fiery lake
FZ7a-98[90].30; E370| Of Orc bending down as the binder of the Sheaves follows
FZ7a-98[90].31; E370| The reaper in both arms embracing the furious raging flames
FZ7a-98[90].32; E370| Los drew them forth out of the deeps planting his right foot firm
FZ7a-98[90].33; E370| Upon the Iron crag of Urizen thence springing up aloft
FZ7a-98[90].34; E370| Into the heavens of Enitharmon in a mighty circle
FZ7a-98[90].35; E370| And first he drew a line upon the walls of shining heaven

FZ8-111[107].33; E383| And of the nameless Shadowy female in the nether deep
FZ8-111[107].34; E383| And for the dread of the dark terrors of Orc & Urizen
FZ8-111[107].35; E383| Thus in a living Death the nameless shadow all things bound
FZ8-111[107].36; E383| All mortal things made permanent that they may be put off
FZ8-111[107].37; E383| Time after time by the Divine Lamb who died for all
FZ8-111[107].38; E383| And all in him died. & he put off all mortality
FZ8-122[108].1; E383| Tharmas on high rode furious thro the afflicted worlds t953
FZ8-122[108].2; E383| Pursuing the Vain Shadow of Hope fleeing from identity
FZ8-122[108].3; E383| In abstract false Expanses that he may not hear the Voice
FZ8-122[108].4; E383| Of Ahania wailing on the winds in vain he flies for still
FZ8-122[108].5; E383| The voice incessant calls on all the children of Men
FZ8-122[108].6; E383| For she spoke of all in heaven & all upon the Earth
FZ8-122[108].7; E383| Saw not as yet the Divine vision her Eyes are Toward Urizen
FZ8-122[108].8; E383| And thus Ahania cries aloud to the Caverns of the Grave
FZ8-122[108].9; E383| Will you keep a flock of wolves & lead them will you take the wintry blast
FZ8-122[108].10; E383| For a covering to your limbs or the summer pestilence for a tent to abide in
FZ8-122[108].11; E383| Will you erect a lasting habitation in the mouldering Church yard
FZ8-122[108].12; E383| Or a pillar & palace of Eternity in the jaws of the hungry grave
FZ8-122[108].13; E383| Will you seek pleasure from the festering wound or marry for a Wife
FZ8-122[108].14; E383| he ancient Leprosy that the King & Priest may still feast on your decay
FZ8-122[108].15; E383| And the grave mock & laugh at the plowd field saying
FZ8-122[108].16; E383| I am the nourisher thou the destroyer in my bosom is milk & wine
FZ8-122[108].17; E383| And a fountain from my breasts to me come all multitudes
FZ8-122[108].18; E383| To my breath they obey they worship me I am a goddess & queen
FZ8-122[108].19; E383| But listen to Ahania O ye sons of the Murderd one
FZ8-122[108].20; E383| Listen to her whose memory beholds your ancient days
FZ8-122[108].21; E383| Listen to her whose eyes behold the dark body of corruptible death
FZ8-122[108].22; E383| Looking for Urizen in vain. in vain I seek for morning
FZ8-122[108].23; E383| The Eternal Man sleeps in the Earth nor feels the vigrous sun
FZ8-122[108].24; E384| Nor silent moon nor all the hosts of heaven move in his body
FZ8-122[108].25; E384| His fiery halls are dark & round his limbs the Serpent Orc
FZ8-122[108].26; E384| Fold without fold encompasses him And his corrupting members
FZ8-122[108].27; E384| Vomit out the Scaly monsters of the restless deep
FZ8-122[108].28; E384| They come up in the rivers & annoy the nether parts
FZ8-122[108].29; E384| Of Man who lays upon the shores leaning his faded head
FZ8-122[108].30; E384| Upon the Oozy rock inwrapped with the weeds of death
FZ8-122[108].31; E384| His eyes sink hollow in his head his flesh coverd with slime
FZ8-122[108].32; E384| And shrunk up to the bones alas that Man should come to this
FZ8-122[108].33; E384| His strong bones beat with snows & hid within the caves of night
FZ8-122[108].34; E384| Marrowless bloodless falling into dust driven by the winds
FZ8-122[108].35; E384| O how the horrors of Eternal Death take hold on Man
FZ8-122[108].36; E384| His faint groans shake the caves & issue thro the desolate rocks
FZ8-113[109].1; E384| And the Strong Eagle now with num[m]ing cold blighted of feathers
FZ8-113[109].2; E384| Once like the pride of the sun now flagging in cold night
FZ8-113[109].3; E384| Hovers with blasted wings aloft watching with Eager Eye
FZ8-113[109].4; E384| Till Man shall leave a corruptible body he famishd hears him groan
FZ8-113[109].5; E384| And now he fixes his strong talons in the pointed rock
FZ8-113[109].6; E384| And now he beats the heavy air with his enormous wings
FZ8-113[109].7; E384| Beside him lies the Lion dead & in his belly worms
FZ8-113[109].8; E384| Feast on his death till universal death devours all
FZ8-113[109].9; E384| And the pale horse seeks for the pool to lie him down & die
FZ8-113[109].10; E384| But finds the pools filled with serpents devouring one another
FZ8-113[109].11; E384| He droops his head & trembling stands & his bright eyes decay
FZ8-113[109].12; E384| These are the Visions of My Eyes the Visions of Ahania
FZ8-113[109].13; E384| Thus cries Ahania Enion replies from the Caverns of the Grave
FZ8-113[109].14; E384| Fear not O poor forsaken one O land of briars & thorns
FZ8-113[109].15; E384| Where once the Olive flourishd & the Cedar spread his wings
FZ8-113[109].16; E384| Once I waild desolate like thee my fallow fields in fear
FZ8-113[109].17; E384| Cried to the Churchyards & the Earthworm came in dismal state
FZ8-113[109].18; E384| I found him in my bosom & I said the time of Love
FZ8-113[109].19; E384| Appears upon the rocks & hills in silent shades but soon
FZ8-113[109].20; E384| A voice came in the night a midnight cry upon the mountains
FZ8-113[109].21; E384| Awake the bridegroom cometh I awoke to sleep no more
FZ8-113[109].22; E384| But an Eternal Consummation is dark Enion
FZ8-113[109].23; E384| The watry Grave. O thou Corn field O thou Vegetater happy
FZ8-113[109].24; E384| More happy is the dark consumer hope drowns all my torment
FZ8-113[109].25; E384| For I am now surrounded by a shadowy vortex drawing
FZ8-113[109].26; E384| The Spectre quite away from Enion that I die a death
FZ8-113[109].27; E384| Of bitter hope altho I consume in these raging waters
FZ8-113[109].28; E384| The furrowd field replies to the grave I hear her reply to me
FZ8-113[109].29; E384| Behold the time approaches fast that thou shalt be as a thing
FZ8-113[109].30; E384| Forgotten when one speaks of thee he will not be believd
FZ8-113[109].31; E384| When the man gently fades away in his immortality
FZ8-113[109].32; E385| When the mortal disappears in improved knowledge cast away
FZ8-113[109].33; E385| The former things so shall the Mortal gently fade away
FZ8-113[109].34; E385| And so become invisible to those who still remain
FZ8-113[109].35; E385| Listen I will tell thee what is done in the caverns of the grave
FZ8-114[110].1; E385| The Lamb of God has rent the Veil of Mystery soon to return
FZ8-114[110].2; E385| In Clouds & Fires around the rock & the Mysterious tree
FZ8-114[110].3; E385| As the seed waits Eagerly watching for its flower & fruit
FZ8-114[110].4; E385| Anxious its little soul looks out into the clear expanse
FZ8-114[110].5; E385| To see if hungry winds are abroad with their invisible army
FZ8-114[110].6; E385| So Man looks out in tree & herb & fish & bird & beast
FZ8-114[110].7; E385| Collecting up the scatterd portions of his immortal body
FZ8-114[110].8; E385| Into the Elemental forms of every thing that grows
FZ8-114[110].9; E385| He tries the sullen north wind riding on its angry furrows
FZ8-114[110].10; E385| The sultry south when the sun rises & the angry east
FZ8-114[110].11; E385| When the sun sets when the clods harden & the cattle stand
FZ8-114[110].12; E385| Drooping & the birds hide in their silent nests. he stores his thoughts
FZ8-114[110].13; E385| As in a store house in his memory he regulates the forms
FZ8-114[110].14; E385| Of all beneath & all above & in the gentle West
FZ8-114[110].15; E385| Reposes where the Suns heat dwells he rises to the Sun

FZ8-114[110].17; E385| The Zodiac & the stars that sullen stand to north & south
FZ8-114[110].18; E385| He touches the remotest pole & in the Center weeps
FZ8-114[110].19; E385| That Man should Labour & sorrow & learn & forget & return
FZ8-114[110].20; E385| To the dark valley whence he came to begin his labours anew
FZ8-114[110].21; E385| In pain he sighs in pain he labours in his universe
FZ8-114[110].22; E385| Screaming in birds over the deep & howling in the Wolf
FZ8-114[110].23; E385| Over the slain & moaning in the cattle & in the winds
FZ8-114[110].24; E385| And weeping over Orc & Urizen in clouds & flaming fires t954
FZ8-114[110].25; E385| And in the cries of birth & in the groans of death his voice
FZ8-114[110].26; E385| Is heard throughout the Universe whereever a grass grows

FZ9-125.16; E394| Immense upon the heavens with bread & delicate repasts
FZ9-125.17; E394| Then follows the golden harrow in the midst of Mental fires
FZ9-125.18; E394| To ravishing melody of flutes & harps & softest voice
FZ9-125.19; E394| The seed is harrowd in while flames heat the black mould & cause

FZ9-125.34; E395| Thro night should sing soft warbling filling Earth & heaven
FZ9-125.35; E395| And bright Ahania took her seat by Urizen in songs & joy
FZ9-125.36; E395| The Eternal Man also sat down upon the Couches of Beulah
FZ9-125.37; E395| Sorrowful that he could not put off his new risen body
FZ9-125.38; E395| In mental flames the flames refusd they drove him back to Beulah
FZ9-125.39; E395| His body was redeemd to be permanent thro Mercy Divine
FZ9-126.1; E395| And now fierce Orc had quite consumd himself in Mental flames
FZ9-126.2; E395| Expending all his energy against the fuel of fire
FZ9-126.3; E395| The Regenerate Man stoopd his head over the Universe & in t997
FZ9-126.4; E395| His holy hands recied the flaming Demon & Demoness of Smoke
FZ9-126.5; E395| And gave them to Urizens hands the Immortal frownd Saying

FZ9-126.17; E395| Servants to the infinite & Eternal of the Human form
FZ9-126.18; E395| Luvah & Vala descended & enterd the Gates of Dark Urthona
FZ9-126.19; E395| And walkd from the hands of Urizen in the shadows of Valas Garden
FZ9-126.20; E395| Where the impressions of Despair & Hope for ever vegetate
FZ9-126.21; E395| In flowers in fruits in fishes birds & beasts & clouds & waters
FZ9-126.22; E395| The land of doubts & shadows sweet delusions unformd hopes

FZ9-127.8; E396| To yonder brightness there I haste for sure I came from thence
FZ9-127.9; E396| Or I must have slept eternally nor have felt the dew of morning
FZ9-127.10; E396| Eternally thou must have slept nor have felt the morning dew
FZ9-127.11; E396| But for yon nourishing sun tis that by which thou art arisen
FZ9-127.12; E396| The birds adore the sun the beasts rise up & play in his beams
FZ9-127.13; E396| And every flower & every leaf rejoices in his light
FZ9-127.14; E396| Then O thou fair one sit thee down for thou art as the grass
FZ9-127.15; E396| Thou risest in the dew of morning & at night art folded up
FZ9-127.16; E396| Alas am I but as a flower then will I sit me down
FZ9-127.17; E396| Then will I weep then Ill complain & sigh for immortality
FZ9-127.18; E396| And chide my maker thee O Sun that raisedst me to fall
FZ9-127.19; E396| So saying she sat down & wept beneath the apple trees
FZ9-127.20; E396| O be thou blotted out thou Sun that raisedst me to trouble
FZ9-127.21; E396| That gavest me a heart to crave & raisedst me thy phantom
FZ9-127.22; E396| To feel thy heat & see thy light & wander here alone
FZ9-127.23; E396| Hopeless if I am like the grass & so shall pass away
FZ9-127.24; E396| Rise sluggish Soul why sitst thou here why dost thou sit & weep
FZ9-127.25; E396| Yon Sun shall wax old & decay but thou shalt ever flourish
FZ9-127.26; E396| The fruit shall ripen & fall down & the flowers consume away
FZ9-127.27; E396| But thou shalt still survive arise O dry thy dewy tears
FZ9-127.28; E396| Hah! Shall I still survive whence came that sweet & comforting voice
FZ9-127.29; E396| And whence that voice of sorrow O sun thou art nothing now to me
FZ9-127.30; E396| Go on thy course rejoicing & let us both rejoice together
FZ9-127.31; E396| I walk among his flocks & hear the bleating of his lambs
FZ9-127.32; E396| O that I could behold his face & follow his pure feet
FZ9-127.33; E396| I walk by the footsteps of his flocks come hither tender flocks
FZ9-127.34; E396| Can you converse with a pure Soul that seeketh for her maker
FZ9-127.35; E396| You answer not then am I set your mistress in this garden
FZ9-127.36; E396| Ill watch you & attend your footsteps you are not like the birds
FZ9-128.1; E396| That Sing & fly in the bright air but you do lick my feet
FZ9-128.2; E396| And let me touch your wooly backs follow me as I sing
FZ9-128.3; E396| For in my bosom a new song arises to my Lord
FZ9-128.4; E397| Rise up O Sun most glorious minister & light of day
FZ9-128.5; E397| Flow on ye gentle airs & bear the voice of my rejoicing
FZ9-128.6; E397| Wave freshly clear waters flowing around the tender grass
FZ9-128.7; E397| And thou sweet smelling ground put forth thy life in fruits & flowers
FZ9-128.8; E397| Follow me O my flocks & hear me sing my rapturous Song
FZ9-128.9; E397| I will cause my voice to be heard on the clouds that glitter in the sun
FZ9-128.10; E397| I will call & who shall answer me I will sing who shall reply
FZ9-128.11; E397| For from my pleasant hills behold the living living springs
FZ9-128.12; E397| Running among my green pastures delighting among my trees
FZ9-128.13; E397| I am not here alone my flocks you are my brethren
FZ9-128.14; E397| And you birds that sing & adorn the sky you are my sisters
FZ9-128.15; E397| I sing & you reply to my Song I rejoice & you are glad
FZ9-128.16; E397| Follow he O my flocks we will now descend into the valley
FZ9-128.17; E397| O how delicious are the grapes flourishing in the Sun
FZ9-128.18; E397| How clear the spring of the rock running among the golden sand
FZ9-128.19; E397| How cool the breezes of the vall[e]y & the arms of the branchy trees
FZ9-128.20; E397| Cover us from the Sun come & let us sit in the Shade
FZ9-128.21; E397| My Luvah here hath placd me in a Sweet & pleasant Land
FZ9-128.22; E397| And given me fruits & pleasant waters & warm hills & cool valleys
FZ9-128.23; E397| Here will I build myself a house & here Ill call on his name
FZ9-128.24; E397| Here Ill return when I am weary & take my pleasant rest
FZ9-128.25; E397| So spoke the Sinless Soul & laid her head on the downy fleece
FZ9-128.26; E397| Of a curld Ram who stretchd himself in sleep beside his mistress
FZ9-128.27; E397| And soft sleep fell upon her eyelids in the silent noon of day
FZ9-128.28; E397| Then Luvah passed by & saw the sinless Soul
FZ9-128.29; E397| And said Let a pleasant house arise to be the dwelling place
FZ9-128.30; E397| Of this immortal Spirit growing in lower Paradise
FZ9-128.31; E397| He spoke & pillars were builded & walls as white as ivory
FZ9-128.32; E397| The grass she slept upon was pavd with pavement as of pearl
FZ9-128.33; E397| Beneath her rose a downy bed & a cieling coverd all
FZ9-128.34; E397| Vala awoke. When in the pleasant gates of sleep I enterd
FZ9-128.35; E397| I saw my Luvah like a spirit stand in the bright air
FZ9-128.36; E397| Round him stood spirits like me who reard me a bright house
FZ9-128.37; E397| And here I see thee house remain in my most pleasant world
FZ9-129.1; E397| My Luvah smild I kneeled down he laid his hand on my head
FZ9-129.2; E397| And when he laid his hand upon me from the gates of sleep I came
FZ9-129.3; E397| Into this bodily house to tend my flocks in my pleasant garden
FZ9-129.4; E397| So saying she arose & walked round her beautiful house
FZ9-129.5; E397| And then from her white door she lookd to see her bleating lambs
FZ9-129.6; E397| But her flocks were gone up from beneath the trees into the hills
FZ9-129.7; E397| I see the hand that leadeth me doth also lead my flocks
FZ9-129.8; E397| She went up to her flocks & turned oft to see her shining house
FZ9-129.9; E397| She stopd to drink of the clear spring & eat the grapes & apples
FZ9-129.10; E398| She bore the fruits in her lap she gatherd flowers for her bosom
FZ9-129.11; E398| She called to her flocks saying follow me O my flocks
FZ9-129.12; E398| They followd her to the silent vall[e]y beneath the spreading trees
FZ9-129.13; E398| And on the rivers margin she ungirded her golden girdle
FZ9-129.14; E398| She stood in the river & viewd herself within the watry glass
FZ9-129.15; E398| And her bright hair was wet with the waters She rose up from the river
FZ9-129.16; E398| And as she rose her Eyes were opend to the world of waters
FZ9-129.17; E398| She saw Tharmas sitting upon the rocks beside the wavy sea
FZ9-129.18; E398| He strokd the water from his beard & mournd faint thro the summer vales
FZ9-129.19; E398| And Vala stood on the rocks of Tharmas & heard his mournful voice
FZ9-129.20; E398| O Enion my weary head is in the bed of death
FZ9-129.21; E398| For weeds of death have wrapd around my limbs in the hoary deeps
FZ9-129.22; E398| I sit in the place of shells & mourn & thou art closd in clouds
FZ9-129.23; E398| When will the time of Clouds be past & the dismal night of Tharmas
FZ9-129.24; E398| Arise O Enion Arise & smile upon my head t1001
FZ9-129.25; E398| As thou dost smile upon the barren mountains and they rejoice
FZ9-129.26; E398| When wilt thou smile on Tharmas O thou bringer of golden day
FZ9-129.27; E398| Arise O Enion arise for Lo I have calmd my seas
FZ9-129.28; E398| So saying his faint head he laid upon the Oozy rock
FZ9-129.29; E398| And darkness coverd all the deep the light of Enion faded
FZ9-129.30; E398| Like a fa[i]nt flame quivering upon the surface of the darkness
FZ9-129.31; E398| Then Vala lifted up her hands to heaven to call on Enion
FZ9-129.32; E398| She calld but none could answer her & the Eccho of her voice returnd
FZ9-129.33; E398| Where is the voice of God that calld me from the silent dew
FZ9-129.34; E398| Where is the Lord of Vala dost thou hide in clefts of the rock
FZ9-129.35; E398| Why shouldst thou hide thyself from Vala from the soul that wanders desolate
FZ9-129.36; E398| She ceas'd & light beamd round her like the glory of the morning
FZ9-130.1; E398| And She arose out of the river & girded on her golden girdle
FZ9-130.2; E398| And now her feet step on the grassy bosom of the ground
FZ9-130.3; E398| Among her flocks & she turnd her eyes toward her pleasant house
FZ9-130.4; E398| And saw in the door way beneath the trees two little children playing
FZ9-130.5; E398| She drew near to her house & her flocks followd her footsteps
FZ9-130.6; E398| The Children clung around her knees she embracd them & wept over them
FZ9-130.7; E398| Thou little Boy art Tharmas & thou bright Girl Enion
FZ9-130.8; E398| How are ye thus renewd & brought into the Gardens of Vala
FZ9-130.9; E398| She embracd them in tears. till the sun descended the western hills
FZ9-130.10; E398| And then she enterd her bright house leading her mighty children
FZ9-130.11; E399| And when night came the flocks laid round the house beneath the trees
FZ9-130.12; E399| She laid the Children on the beds which she saw prepard in the house
FZ9-130.13; E399| Then last herself laid down & closd her Eyelids in soft slumbers
FZ9-130.14; E399| And in the morning when the Sun arose in the crystal sky
FZ9-130.15; E399| Vala awoke & calld the children from their gentle slumbers
FZ9-130.16; E399| Awake O Enion awake & let thine innocent Eyes
FZ9-130.17; E399| Enlighten all the Crystal house of Vala awake awake
FZ9-130.18; E399| Awake Tharmas awake awake thou child of dewy tears
FZ9-130.19; E399| Open the orbs of thy blue eyes & smile upon my gardens
FZ9-130.20; E399| The Children woke & smild on Vala. she kneeld by the golden couch
FZ9-130.21; E399| She presd them to her bosom & her pearly tears dropd down
FZ9-130.22; E399| O my sweet Children Enion let Tharmas kiss thy Cheek
FZ9-130.23; E399| Why dost thou turn thyself away from his sweet watry eyes
FZ9-130.24; E399| Tharmas henceforth in Valas bosom thou shalt find sweet peace
FZ9-130.25; E399| O bless the lovely eyes of Tharmas & the Eyes of Enion
FZ9-130.26; E399| They rose they went out wandring sometimes together sometimes alone
FZ9-13.27; E399| Why weepest thou Tharmas Child of tears in the bright house of joy
FZ9-130.28; E399| Doth Enion avoid the sight of thy blue heavenly Eyes
FZ9-130.29; E399| And dost thou wander with my lambs & wet their innocent faces t1002
FZ9-130.30; E399| With thy bright tears because the steps of Enion are in the gardens
FZ9-130.31; E399| Arise sweet boy & let us follow the path of Enion
FZ9-130.32; E399| So saying they went down into the garden among the fruits
FZ9-130.33; E399| And Enion sang among the flowers that grew among the trees
FZ9-130.34; E399| And Vala said Go Tharmas weep not Go to Enion
FZ9-131.1; E399| He said O Vala I am sick & all this garden of Pleasure
FZ9-131.2; E399| Swims like a dream before my eyes but the sweet smelling fruit
FZ9-131.3; E399| Revives me to new deaths I fade even like a water lilly
FZ9-131.4; E399| In the suns heat till in the night on the couch of Enion
FZ9-131.5; E399| I drink new life & feel the breath of sleeping Enion
FZ9-131.6; E399| But in the morning she arises to avoid my Eyes
FZ9-131.7; E399| Then my loins fade & in the house I sit me down & weep
FZ9-131.8; E399| Chear up thy Countenance bright boy & go to Enion
FZ9-131.9; E399| Tell her that Vala waits her in the shadows of her garden
FZ9-131.10; E399| He went with timid steps & Enion like the ruddy morn
FZ9-131.11; E399| When infant spring appears in swelling buds & opening flowers
FZ9-131.12; E399| Behind her Veil withdraws so Enion turnd her modest head
FZ9-131.13; E399| But Tharmas spoke Vala seeks thee sweet Enion in the shades
FZ9-131.14; E399| Follow the steps of Tharmas O thou brightness of the gardens
FZ9-131.15; E399| He took her hand reluctant she followd in infant doubts
FZ9-131.16; E400| Thus in Eternal Childhood straying among Valas flocks
FZ9-131.17; E400| In infant sorrow & joy alternate Enion & Tharmas playd
FZ9-131.18; E400| Round Vala in the Gardens of Vala & by her rivers margin
FZ9-131.19; E400| They are the shadows of Tharmas & of Enion in Valas world
FZ9-131.20; E400| And the sleepers who rested from their harvest work beheld theseOAthese visions
FZ9-131.21; E400| Thus were the sleepers entertaind upon the Couches of Beulah
FZ9-131.22; E400| When Luvah & Vala were closd up in their world of shadowy forms
FZ9-131.23; E400| Darkness was all beneath the heavens only a little light
FZ9-131.24; E400| Such as glows out from sleeping spirits appeard in the deeps beneath
FZ9-131.25; E400| As when the wind sweeps over a Corn field the noise of souls
FZ9-131.26; E400| Thro all the immense borne down by Clouds swagging in autumnal heat
FZ9-131.27; E400| Muttering along from heaven to heaven hoarse roll the human forms
FZ9-131.28; E400| Beneath thick clouds dreadful lightnings burst & thunders roll
FZ9-131.29; E400| Down pour the torrent Floods of heaven on all the human harvest
FZ9-131.30; E400| Then Urizen sitting at his repose on beds in the bright South
FZ9-131.31; E400| Cried Times are Ended he Exulted he arose in joy he exulted
FZ9-131.32; E400| He pourd his light & all his Sons & daughters pourd their light
FZ9-131.33; E400| To exhale the spirits of Luvah & Vala thro the atmosphere
FZ9-131.34; E400| And Luvah & Vala saw the Light their spirits were Exhald
FZ9-131.35; E400| In all their ancient innocence the floods depart the clouds
FZ9-131.36; E400| Dissipate or sink into the Seas of Tharmas Luvah sat
FZ9-131.37; E400| Above in the bright heavens in peace. the Spirits of Men beneath
FZ9-131.38; E400| Cried out to be deliverd & the Spirit of Luvah wept
FZ9-131.39; E400| Over the human harvest & over Vala the sweet wanderer
FZ9-131.40; E400| In pain the human harvest wavd in horrible groans of woe
FZ9-132.1; E400| The Universal Groan went up the Eternal Man was Darkend
FZ9-132.2; E400| Then Urizen arose & took his Sickle in his hand
FZ9-132.3; E400| There is a brazen sickle & a scythe of iron hid
FZ9-132.4; E400| Deep in the South guarded by a few solitary stars
FZ9-132.5; E400| This sickle Urizen took the scythe his sons embracd
FZ9-132.6; E400| And went forth & began to reap & all his joyful sons
FZ9-132.7; E400| Reapd the wide Universe & bound in Sheaves a wondrous harvest
FZ9-132.8; E400| They took them into the wide barns with loud rejoicings & triumph
FZ9-132.9; E400| Of flute & harp & drum & trumpet horn & clarion
FZ9-132.10; E400| The feast was spread in the bright South& the Regenerate Man
FZ9-132.11; E400| Sat at the feast rejoicing & the wine of Eternity
FZ9-132.12; E400| Was servd round by the flames of Luvah all Day & all the Night
FZ9-132.13; E400| And when Morning began to dawn upon the distant hills
FZ9-132.14; E400| a whirlwind rose up in the Center & in the Whirlwind a shriek t1003
FZ9-132.15; E400| And in the Shriek a rattling of bones & in the rattling of bones
FZ9-132.16; E400| A dolorous groan & from the dolorous groan in tears
FZ9-132.17; E400| Rose Enion like a gentle light & Enion spoke saying
FZ9-132.18; E401| O Dreams of Death the human form dissolving companied
FZ9-132.19; E401| By beasts & worms & creeping things & darkness & despair t1004
FZ9-132.20; E401| The clouds fall off from my wet brow the dust from my cold limbs
FZ9-132.21; E401| Into the Sea of Tharmas Soon renewd a Golden Moth
FZ9-132.22; E401| I shall cast off my death clothes & Embrace Tharmas again
FZ9-132.23; E401| For Lo the winter melted away upon the distant hills
FZ9-132.24; E401| And all the black mould sings. She speaks to her infant race her milk
FZ9-132.25; E401| Descends down on the sand. the thirsty sand drinks & rejoices t1005
FZ9-132.26; E401| Wondering to behold the Emmet the Grasshopper the jointed worm
FZ9-132.27; E401| The roots shoot thick thro the solid rocks bursting their way
FZ9-132.28; E401| They cry out in joys of existence. the broad stems
FZ9-132.29; E401| Rear on the mountains stem after stem the scaly newt creeps
FZ9-132.30; E401| From the stone & the armed fly springs from the rocky crevice
FZ9-132.31; E401| The spider. The bat burst from the hardend slime crying
FZ9-132.32; E401| To one another what are we & whence is our joy & delight
FZ9-132.33; E401| Lo the little moss begins to spring & the tender weed
FZ9-132.34; E401| Creeps round our secret nest. Flocks brighten the Mountains
FZ9-132.35; E401| Herds throng up the Valley wild beasts fill the forests
FZ9-132.36; E401| Joy thrilld thro all the Furious form of Tharmas humanizing
FZ9-132.37; E401| Mild he Embracd her whom he sought he raisd her thro the heavens
FZ9-132.38; E401| Sounding his trumpet to awake the Dead on high he soard
FZ9-132.39; E401| Over the ruind worlds the smoking tomb of the Eternal Prophet
FZ9-133.1; E401| The Eternal Man arose he welcomd them to the Feast

FZ9-133.5; E401| And Many Eternal Men sat at the golden feast to see
FZ9-133.6; E401| The female form now separate They shudderd at the horrible thing
FZ9-133.7; E401| Not born for the sport and amusement of Man but born to drink up all his powers
FZ9-133.8; E401| They wept to see their shadows they said to one another this is Sin t1006
FZ9-133.9; E401| This is the Generative world they rememberd the Days of old t1007
FZ9-133.10; E401| And One of the Eternals spoke All was silent at the feast
FZ9-133.11; E401| Man is a Worm wearied with joy he seeks the caves of sleep
FZ9-133.12; E401| Among the Flowers of Beulah in his Selfish cold repose
FZ9-133.13; E401| Forsaking Brotherhood & Universal love in selfish clay
FZ9-133.14; E401| Folding the pure wings of his mind seeking the places dark
FZ9-133.15; E401| Abstracted from the roots of Science then inclosd around t1008
FZ9-133.16; E401| In walls of Gold we cast him like a Seed into the Earth
FZ9-133.17; E401| Till times & spaces have passd over him duly every morn
FZ9-133.18; E401| We visit him covering with a Veil the immortal seed
FZ9-133.19; E401| With windows from the inclement sky we cover him & with walls
FZ9-133.20; E401| And hearths protect the Selfish terror till divided all
FZ9-133.21; E402| In families we see our shadows born. & thence we know | Ephesians
FZ9-133.22; E402| That Man subsists by Brotherhood & Universal Love |iii c.

FZ9-133.28; E402| Calling hi Brother image of the Eternal Father. they sat down
FZ9-133.29; E402| At the immortal tables sounding loud their instruments of joy
FZ9-133.30; E402| Calling the Morning into Beulah the Eternal Man rejoicd
FZ9-133.31; E402| When Morning dawnd The Eternals rose to labour at the Vintage
FZ9-133.32; E402| Beneath they saw their sons & daughters wondering inconcievable
FZ9-133.33; E402| At the dark myriads in Shadows in the worlds beneath
FZ9-133.34; E402| The morning dawnd Urizen rose & in his hand the Flail
FZ9-133.35; E402| Sounds on the Floor heard terrible by all beneath the heavens
FZ9-133.36; E402| Dismal loud redounding the nether floor shakes with the sound
FZ9-134.1; E402| And all Nations were threshed out & the stars threshd from their husks
FZ9-134.2; E402| Then Tharmas took the Winnowing fan the winnowing wind furious
FZ9-134.3; E402| Above veerd round by the violent whirlwind driven west & south
FZ9-134.4; E402| Tossed the Nations like Chaff into the seas of Tharmas
FZ9-134.5; E402| O Mystery Fierce Tharmas cries Behold thy end is come
FZ9-134.6; E402| Art thou she that made the nations drunk with the cup of Religion
FZ9-134.7; E402| Go down ye Kings & Councellors & Giant Warriors
FZ9-134.8; E402| Go down into the depths go down & hide yourselves beneath
FZ9-134.9; E402| Go down with horse & Chariots & Trumpets of hoarse war
FZ9-134.10; E402| Lo how the Pomp of Mystery goes down into the Caves
FZ9-134.11; E402| Her great men howl & throw the dust & rend their hoary hair
FZ9-134.12; E402| Her delicate women & children shriek upon the bitter wind
FZ9-134.13; E402| Spoild of their beauty their hair rent & their skin shriveld up
FZ9-134.14; E402| Lo darkness covers the long pomp of banners on the wind
FZ9-134.15; E402| And black horses & armed men & miserable bound captives
FZ9-134.16; E402| Where shall the graves recieve them all & where shall be their place
FZ9-134.17; E402| And who shall mourn for Mystery who never loosd her Captives
FZ9-134.18; E402| Let the slave grinding at the mill run out into the field
FZ9-134.19; E402| Let him look up into the heavens & laugh in the bright air
FZ9-134.20; E402| Let the inchaind soul shut up in darkness & in sighing
FZ9-134.21; E402| Whose face has never seen a smile in thirty weary years
FZ9-134.22; E402| Rise & look out his chains are loose his dungeon doors are open
FZ9-134.23; E402| And let his wife & children return from the opressors scourge
FZ9-134.24; E402| They look behind at every step & believe it is a dream
FZ9-134.25; E402| Are these the Slaves that groand along the streets of Mystery
FZ9-134.26; E402| Where are your bonds & task masters are these the prisoners
FZ9-134.27; E403| Where are your chains where are your tears why do you look around
FZ9-134.28; E403| If you are thirsty there is the river go bathe your parched limbs
FZ9-134.29; E403| The good of all the Land is before you for Mystery is no more
FZ9-134.30; E403| Then All the Slaves from every Earth in the wide Universe
FZ9-134.31; E403| Sing a New Song drowning confusion in its happy notes
FZ9-134.32; E403| While the flail of Urizen sounded loud & the winnowing wind of Tharmas
FZ9-134.33; E403| So loud so clear in the wide heavens & the song that they sung was this
FZ9-134.34; E403| Composed by an African Black from the little Earth of Sotha
FZ9-134.35; E403| Aha Aha how came I here so soon in my sweet native land t1009
FZ9-134.36; E403| How came I here Methinks I am as I was in my youth
FZ9-135.1; E403| When in my fathers house I sat & heard his chearing voice
FZ9-135.2; E403| Methinks I see his flocks & herds & feel my limbs renewd
FZ9-135.3; E403| And Lo my Brethren in their tents & their little ones around them
FZ9-135.4; E403| The song arose to the Golden feast the Eternal Man rejoicd
FZ9-135.5; E403| Then the Eternal Man said Luvah the Vintage is ripe arise
FZ9-135.6; E403| The sons of Urizen shall gather the vintage with sharp hooks
FZ9-135.7; E403| And all thy sons O Luvah bear away the families of Earth
FZ9-135.8; E403| I hear the flail of Urizen his barns are full no roo[m]
FZ9-135.9; E403| Remains & in the Vineyards stand the abounding sheaves beneath
FZ9-135.10; E403| The falling Grapes that odorous burst upon the winds. Arise
FZ9-135.11; E403| My flocks & herds trample the Corn my cattle browze upon
FZ9-135.12; E403| The ripe Clusters The shepherds shout for Luvah prince of Love
FZ9-135.13; E403| Let the Bulls of Luvah tread the Corn & draw the loaded waggon
FZ9-135.14; E403| Into the Barn while children glean the Ears around the door
FZ9-135.15; E403| Then shall they lift their innocent hands & stroke his furious nose
FZ9-135.16; E403| And he shall lick the little girls white neck & on her head
FZ9-135.17; E403| Scatter the perfume of his breath while from his mountains high
FZ9-135.18; E403| The lion of terror shall come down & bending his bright mane
FZ9-135.19; E403| And couching at their side shall eat from the curld boys white lap
FZ9-135.20; E403| His golden food and in the evening sleep before the Door
FZ9-135.21; E403| Attempting to be more than Man We become less said Luvah
FZ9-135.22; E403| As he arose from the bright feast drunk with the wine of ages
FZ9-135.23; E403| His crown of thorns fell from his head he hung his living Lyre
FZ9-135.24; E403| Behind the seat of the Eternal Man & took his way
FZ9-135.25; E403| Sounding the Song of Los descending to the Vineyards bright
FZ9-135.26; E403| His sons arising from the feast with golden baskets follow
FZ9-135.27; E403| A fiery train as when the Sun sings in the ripe vineyards
FZ9-135.28; E403| Then Luvah stood before the wine press all his fiery sons
FZ9-135.29; E403| Brought up the loaded Waggons with shoutings ramping tygers play
FZ9-135.30; E403| In the jingling traces furious lions sound the song of joy
FZ9-135.31; E403| To the golden wheels circling upon the pavement of heaven & all
FZ9-135.32; E403| The Villages of Luvah ring the golden tiles of the villages
FZ9-135.33; E404| Reply to violins & tabors to the pipe flute lyre & cymbal
FZ9-135.34; E404| Then fell the Legions of Mystery in maddning confusion
FZ9-135.35; E404| Down Down thro the immense with outcry fury & despair
FZ9-135.36; E404| Into the wine presses of Luvah howling fell the Clusters
FZ9-135.37; E404| Of human families thro the deep. the wine presses were filld
FZ9-135.38; E404| The blood of life flowd plentiful Odors of life arose
FZ9-135.39; E404| All round the heavenly arches & the Odors rose singing this song t1010
FZ9-136.1; E404| O terrible wine presses of Luvah O caverns of the Grave
FZ9-136.2; E404| How lovely the delights of those risen again from death
FZ9-136.3; E404| O trembling joy excess of joy is like Excess of grief
FZ9-136.4; E404| So sang the Human Odors round the wine presses of Luvah
FZ9-136.5; E404| But in the Wine presses is wailing terror & despair
FZ9-136.6; E404| Forsaken of their Elements they vanish & are no more
FZ9-136.7; E404| No more but a desire of Being a distracted ravening desire
FZ9-136.8; E404| Desiring like the hungry worm & like the gaping grave t1011
FZ9-136.9; E404| They plunge into the Elements the Elements cast them forth
FZ9-136.10; E404| Or else consume their shadowy semblance Yet they obstinate
FZ9-136.11; E404| Tho pained to distraction Cry O let us Exist for
FZ9-136.12; E404| This dreadful Non Existence is worse than pains of Eternal Birth t1012
FZ9-136.13; E404| Eternal Death who can Endure. let us consume in fires
FZ9-136.14; E404| In waters stifling or in air corroding or in earth shut up
FZ9-136.15; E404| The Pangs of Eternal birth are better than the Pangs of Eternal Death
FZ9-136.16; E404| How red the Sons & Daughters of Luvah how they tread the Grapes
FZ9-136.17; E404| Laughing & shouting drunk with odors many fall oerwearied
FZ9-136.18; E404| Drownd in the wine is many a youth & maiden those around
FZ9-136.19; E404| Lay them on skins of tygers or the spotted Leopard or wild Ass
FZ9-136.20; E404| Till they revive or bury them in cool Grots making lamentation
FZ9-136.21; E404| But in the Wine Presses the Human Grapes Sing not nor dance
FZ9-136.22; E404| They howl & writhe in shoals of torment in fierce flames consuming
FZ9-136.23; E404| In chains of iron & in dungeons circled with ceaseless fires
FZ9-136.24; E404| In pits & dens & shades of death in shapes of torment & woe

FZ9-136.36; E405| The indignant Thistle whose bitterness is bred in his milk
FZ9-136.37; E405| And who lives on the contempt of his neighbour there all the idle weeds
FZ9-136.38; E405| That creep about the obscure places shew their various limbs
FZ9-136.39; E405| Naked in all their beauty dancing round the Wine Presses
FZ9-136.40; E405| They Dance around the Dying & they Drink the howl & groan
FZ9-137.1; E405| They catch the Shrieks in cups of gold they hand them to one another
FZ9-137.2; E405| These are the sports of love & these the sweet delights of amorous play
FZ9-137.3; E405| Tears of the grapes the death sweat of the Cluster the last sigh

FZ9-137.9; E405| In his right hand his hammer Tharmas held his Shepherds crook
FZ9-137.10; E405| Beset with gold gold were the ornaments formed by the sons of Urizen
FZ9-137.11; E405| Then Enion & Ahania & Vala & the wife of Dark Urthona
FZ9-137.12; E405| Rose from the feast in joy ascending to their Golden Looms
FZ9-137.13; E405| There the wingd shuttle Sang the spindle & the distaff & the Reel
FZ9-137.14; E405| Rang sweet the praise of industry. Thro all the golden rooms
FZ9-137.15; E405| Heaven rang with winged Exultation All beneath howld loud
FZ9-137.16; E405| With tenfold rout & desolation roard the Chasms beneath
FZ9-37.17; E405| Where the wide woof flowd down & where the Nations are gatherd together
FZ9-137.18; E405| Tharmas went down to the Wine presses & beheld the sons & daughters

FZ9-137.26; E405| Of glass & precious stones They loaded all the waggons of heaven
FZ9-137.27; E405| And took away the wine of ages with solemn songs & joy

FZ9-137.29; E405| Awoke they wept to one another & they reascended
FZ9-137.30; E405| To the Eternal Man in woe he cast them wailing into
FZ9-137.31; E405| The world of shadows thro the air till winter is over & gone
FZ9-137.32; E405| But the Human Wine stood wondering in all their delightful Expanses
FZ9-137.33; E405| The Elements subside the heavens rolld on with vocal harmony
FZ9-137.34; E405| Then Los who is Urthona rose in all his regenerate power
FZ9-137.35; E406| The Sea that rolld & foamd with darkness & the shadows of death
FZ9-137.36; E406| Vomited out & gave up all the floods lift up their hands
