Covering for my Sins from wrath of Tharmas t445
FZ1-7.1;
E304| I thought Tharmas a
Sinner & I murderd his Emanations t447
FZ1-7.2;

morning, and his scaly armour softening t457
FZ1-7.13;
E304| A monster lovely in the
heavens or wandering on the earth, t458

sightless way growing enormous in its motion to
FZ1-8.5;
E304| Its utmost goal, till
strength from Enion like richest summer shining t460
FZ1-8.6;
E304| Raisd the bright boy
& girl with glories from their heads beaming t461
FZ1-8.7;
E304| Drawing forth drooping
mothers pity drooping mothers sorrow t462
FZ1-8.8;
E304| They sulk upon her breast

FZ1-8.9;
E304| Weaker & weaker,
weeping woful, wearier and wearier
FZ1-8.10;
E304| Faded & her bright
Eyes decayd melted with pity & love
FZ1-9.1;
E304| And then they wanderd far
away she sought for them in vain t464
FZ1-9.2;
E304| In weeping blindness
stumbling she followd them oer rocks & mountains
FZ1-9.3;
E304| Rehumanizing from the
Spectre in pangs of maternal love
FZ1-9.4;
E304| Ingrate they wanderd
scorning her drawing her Spectrous Life
FZ1-9.5;
E304| Repelling her away &
away by a dread repulsive power
FZ1-9.6;
E304| Into Non Entity revolving
round in dark despair.
FZ1-9.7;
E304| And drawing in the
Spectrous life in pride and haughty joy t465
FZ1-9.8;
E304| Thus Enion gave them all
her spectrous life t466
FZ1-9.9;
E304| Then Eno a daughter of
Beulah took a Moment of Time t467
FZ1-9.10;
E304| And drew it out to Seven
thousand years with much care & affliction t468
FZ1-9.11;
E304| And many tears & in
Every year made windows into Eden t469
FZ1-9.12;
E305| She also took an atom of
space & opend its center
FZ1-9.13;
E305| Into Infinitude &
ornamented it with wondrous art
FZ1-9.14;
E305| Astonishd sat her Sisters
of Beulah to see her soft affections
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
FZ1-9.22;
E305| Snaring the wild Goats
for their milk they eat the flesh of Lambs
FZ1-9.23;
E305| A male & female naked
& ruddy as the pride of summer
FZ1-9.24;
E305| Alternate Love & Hate
his breast; hers Scorn & Jealousy
FZ1-9.25;
E305| In embryon passions. they
kiss'd not nor embrac'd for shame & fear t471
FZ1-9.26;
E305| His head beamd light
& in his vigorous voice was prophecy
FZ1-9.27;
E305| He could controll the
times & seasons, & the days & years
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!

Astonishd & Confounded he beheld
FZ2-30.46;
E320| Her shadowy form now
Separate he shudderd & was silent
FZ2-30.47;
E320| Till her caresses &
her tears revivd him to life & joy
FZ2-30.48;
E320| Two wills they had two

FZ2-31.6;
E320| At all our sorrow. We are
made to turn the wheel for water
FZ2-31.7;
E320| To carry the heavy basket
on our scorched shoulders, to sift
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
FZ2-31.11;
E321| The times are now returnd
upon us, we have given ourselves
FZ2-31.12;
E321| To scorn and now are
scorned by the slaves of our enemies
FZ2-31.13;
E321| Our beauty is coverd over
with clay & ashes, & our backs
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.
