FZ8-111[107].13; E382|        That not of his own power he bore the human form erect
FZ8-111[107].14; E382|        Nor of his own will gave his Laws in times of Everlasting
FZ8-111[107].15; E382|        For now fierce Orc in wrath & fury rises into the heavens   t951
FZ8-111[107].16; E382|        A King of wrath & fury a dark enraged horror
FZ8-111[107].17; E382|        And Urizen repentant forgets his wisdom in the abyss   t952
FZ8-111[107].18; E382|        In forms of priesthood in the dark delusions of repentance
FZ8-111[107].19; E382|        Repining in his heart & spirit that Orc reignd over all
FZ8-111[107].20; E382|        And that his wisdom servd but to augment the indefinite lust

 
FZ8-111[107].21; E382|        Then Tharmas & Urthona felt the stony stupor rise
FZ8-111[107].22; E382|        Into their limbs Urthona shot forth a Vast Fibrous form

 
FZ8-111[107].23; E383|        Tharmas like a pillar of sand rolld round by the whirlwind
FZ8-111[107].24; E383|        An animated Pillar rolling round & round in incessant rage

 
FZ8-111[107].25; E383|        Los felt the stony tupor & his head rolld down beneath
FZ8-111[107].26; E383|        Into the Abysses of his bosom the vessels of his blood
FZ8-111[107].27; E383|        Dart forth upon the wind in pipes writhing about in the Abyss
FZ8-111[107].28; E383|        And Enitharmon pale & cold in milky juices flowd
FZ8-111[107].29; E383|        Into a form of Vegetation living having a voice
FZ8-111[107].30; E383|        Moving in rootlike fibres trembling in fear upon the Earth

 
FZ8-111[107].31; E383|        And Tharmas gave his Power to Los Urthona gave his strength
FZ8-111[107].32; E383|        Into the youthful prophet for the Love of Enitharmon
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].16; E385|        And to the Planets of the Night & to the stars that gild
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
FZ8-114[110].27; E385|        Or a leaf buds The Eternal Man is seen is heard is felt
FZ8-114[110].28; E385|        And all his Sorrows till he reassumes his ancient bliss

 
FZ8-114[110].29; E385|        Such are the words of Ahania & Enion. Los hears & weeps   t955
FZ8-114[110].30; E385|        And Los & Enitharmon took the Body of the Lamb
FZ8-114[110].31; E385|        Down from the Cross & placd it in a Sepulcher which Los had hewn
FZ8-114[110].32; E385|        For himself in the Rock of Eternity trembling & in despair   t956
FZ8-114[110].33; E385|        Jerusalem wept over the Sepulcher two thousand Years

 
FZ8-115[111].1;   E385|        Rahab triumphs over all she took Jerusalem
FZ8-115[111].2;   E385|        Captive A Willing Captive by delusive arts impelld
FZ8-115[111].3;   E385|        To worship Urizens Dragon form to offer her own Children
FZ8-115[111].4;   E385|        Upon the bloody Altar. John Saw these things Reveald in Heaven
FZ8-115[111].5;   E385|        On Patmos Isle & heard the Souls cry out to be deliverd

 
FZ8-115[111].6;   E386|        He saw the Harlot of the Kings of Earth & saw her Cup
FZ8-115[111].7;   E386|        Of fornication food of Orc & Satan pressd from the fruit of Mystery
FZ8-115[111].8;   E386|        But when she saw the form of Ahania weeping on the Void
FZ8-115[111].9;   E386|        And heard Enions voice sound from the caverns of the Grave
FZ8-115[111].10; E386|        No more spirit remained in her She secretly left the Synagogue of Satan
FZ8-115[111].11; E386|        She commund with Orc in secret She hid him with the flax
FZ8-115[111].12; E386|        That Enitharmon had numberd away from the Heavens   t957
FZ8-115[111].13; E386|        She gatherd it together to consume her Harlot Robes   t958
FZ8-115[111].14; E386|        In bitterest Contrition sometimes Self condemning repentant
FZ8-115[111].15; E386|        And Sometimes kissing her Robes & jewels & weeping over them
FZ8-115[111].16; E386|        Sometimes returning to the Synagogue of Satan in Pride
FZ8-115[111].17; E386|        And Sometimes weeping before Orc in humility & trembling
FZ8-115[111].18; E386|        The Synagogue of Satan therefore uniting against Mystery
FZ8-115[111].19; E386|        Satan divided against Satan resolvd in open Sanhedrim
FZ8-115[111].20; E386|        To burn Mystery with fire & form another from her ashes
FZ8-115[111].21; E386|        For God put it into their heart to fulfill all his will

 
FZ8-115[111].22; E386|        The Ashes of Mystery began to animate they calld it Deism
FZ8-115[111].23; E386|        And Natural Religion as of old so now anew began
