The Song of Los
“Thus the terrible race of Los & Enitharmon gave
Laws & Religions to the sons binding them more to Earth: closing and restraining: Till a philosophy of Five Senses was complete
Urizen wept & gave it into the hands of Newton & Locke
Clouds roll heavy upon the Alps round Rousseau & Voltaire”
“Shall not the counsellor throw his curb
Of poverty on the laborious?
To fix the price of labour”

Milton: Book 2
“To cast off Bacon, Locke & Newton from Albion’s covering
To take off his filthy garments & clothe him with
Imagination
To cast aside from poetry, all that is not Inspiration”
“Who publishes doubt & calls it knowledge; whose Science is Despair”
“And those who act with Benevolence & Virtue, they murder time on time
These are the destroyers of Jerusalem”

Milton: Book 1
“…Three are shut out, and
Only
Science remains thro Mercy: & by means of Science,
the Three
Become apparent in Time & Space, in the Three
Professions
Poetry in Religion: Music, Law: Painting, in Physic & Surgery:
That Man may live upon Earth till the time of his
Awaking,
And from these three, Science derives every Occupation of Men.
And Science is divided into Bowlahoola & Allamanda.

Milton: Book 1
“…and each mortal brain is walld and moated round
Within.”
“His spectre slept, his Shadow woke; when one sleeps th’other wakes.

What passes in his members till periods of Space & Time
Reveal the secrets of Eternity.

Book of Thel
“Then if thou art the food of worms, O virgin of the
Skies,
How great thy use. how great thy blessing; every thing
that lives,
Lives not alone. nor for itself: fear not and I will call
The weak worm from its lowly bed, and thou shalt hear its voice.”
“why cannot the Ear be closed to its own destruction?”
