Night the Sixth t729
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
FZ6-74.27; E351|
All these around the world of Los cast forth their monstrous births
FZ6-74.28; E351|
But in Eternal times the Seat of Urizen is in the South t753
FZ6-74.29; E351|
Urthona in the North Luvah in East Tharmas in West
FZ6-74.30; E351|
And now he came into the Abhorred world of Dark Urthona
FZ6-74.31; E351|
By Providence divine conducted not bent from his own will
FZ6-74.32; E351|
Lest death Eternal should be the result for the Will cannot be violated
FZ6-74.33; E351|
Into the doleful vales where no tree grew nor river flowd
FZ6-74.34; E351|
Nor man nor beast nor creeping thing nor sun nor cloud nor star
FZ6-74.35; E351|
Still he with his globe of fire immense in his venturous hand
FZ6-74.36; E351|
Bore on thro the Affrighted vales ascending & descending
FZ6-74.37; E351|
Oerwearied or in cumbrous flight he venturd oer dark rifts
FZ6-74.38; E351|
Or down dark precipices or climbd with pain and labour huge
FZ6-74.39; E351|
Till he beheld the world of Los from the Peaked rock of Urthona
FZ6-74.40; E351|
And heard the howling of red Orc distincter & distincter
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
FZ6-75.6; E352|
Striding across the narrow vale the Shadow of Urthona t755
FZ6-75.7; E352|
A spectre Vast appeard whose feet & legs with iron scaled
FZ6-75.8; E352|
Stampd the hard rocks expectant of the unknown wanderer
FZ6-75.9; E352|
Whom he had seen wandring his nether world when distant far
FZ6-75.10; E352|
And watchd his swift approach collected dark the Spectre stood
FZ6-75.11; E352|
Beside hi[m] Tharmas stayd his flight & stood in stern defiance
t756
FZ6-75.12; E352|
Communing with the Spectre who rejoicd along the vale
FZ6-75.13; E352|
Round his loins a girdle glowd with many colourd fires
FZ6-75.14; E352|
In his hand a knotted Club whose knots like mountains frownd
FZ6-75.15; E352|
Desart among the Stars them withering with its ridges cold
FZ6-75.16; E352|
Black scales of iron arm the dread visage iron spikes instead
FZ6-75.17; E352|
Of hair shoot from his orbed scull. his glowing eyes
FZ6-75.18; E352|
Burn like two furnaces. he calld with Voice of Thunder
FZ6-75.19; E352|
Four winged heralds mount the furious blasts & blow their trumps
FZ6-75.20; E352|
Gold Silver Brass & iron clangors clamoring rend the shores
t757
FZ6-75.21; E352|
Like white clouds rising from the Vales his fifty two armies
FZ6-75.22; E352|
From the four Cliffs of Urthona rise glowing around the Spectre
FZ6-75.23; E352|
Four sons of Urizen the Squadrons of Urthona led in arms
FZ6-75.24; E352|
Of gold & silver brass & iron he knew his mighty sons
FZ6-75.5; E352|
Then Urizen arose upon the wind back many a mile
FZ6-75.26; E352|
Retiring into his dire Web scattering fleecy snows
FZ6-75.27; E352|
As he ascended howling loud the Web vibrated strong
FZ6-75.28; E352|
From heaven to heaven from globe to globe. In vast excentric paths
FZ6-75.29; E352|
Compulsive rolld the Comets at his dread command the dreary way
FZ6-75.30; E352|
Falling with wheel impetuous down among Urthonas vales
FZ6-75.31; E352|
And round red Orc returning back to Urizen gorgd with blood
t758
FZ6-75.32; E352|
Slow roll the massy Globes at his command & slow oerwheel
FZ6-75.33; E352|
The dismal squadrons of Urthona. weaving the dire Web
FZ6-75.34; E352|
In their progressions & preparing Urizens path before him
FZ6-75; E352|
End of The Sixth Night
