Plate 73

Such are Cathedrons golden Halls: in the City of Golgonooza

And Los's Furnaces howl loud; living: self-moving: lamenting With fury & despair, & they stretch from South to North Thro all the Four Points: Lo! the Labourers at the Furnaces Rintrah & Palamabron, Theotormon & Bromion, loud labring With the innumerable multitudes of Golgonooza, round the Anvils Of Death. But how they came forth from the Furnaces & how long Vast & severe the anguish eer they knew their Father; were Long to tell & of the iron rollers, golden axle-trees & yokes Of brass, iron chains & braces & the gold, silver & brass Mingled or separate: for swords; arrows; cannons; mortars The terrible ball: the wedge: the loud sounding hammer of destruction The sounding flail to thresh: the winnow: to winnow kingdoms The water wheel & mill of many innumerable wheels resistless Over the Four fold Monarchy from Earth to the Mundane Shell.

Perusing Albions Tomb in the starry characters of Og & Anak: To Create the lion & wolf the bear: the tyger & ounce: To Create the wooly lamb & downy fowl & scaly serpent The summer & winter: day & night: the sun & moon & stars The tree: the plant: the flower: the rock: the stone: the metal: Of Vegetative Nature: by their hard restricting condensations.

Where Luvahs World of Opakeness grew to a period: It Became a Limit, a Rocky hardness without form & void Accumulating without end: here Los. who is of the Elohim Opens the Furnaces of affliction in the Emanation Fixing The Sexual into an ever-prolific Generation Naming the Limit of Opakeness Satan & the Limit of Contraction Adam, who is Peleg & Joktan: & Esau & Jacob: & Saul & David

Voltaire insinuates that these Limits are the cruel work of God Mocking the Remover of Limits & the Resurrection of the Dead Setting up Kings in wrath: in holiness of Natural Religion Which Los with his mighty Hammer demolishes time on time In miracles & wonders in the Four-fold Desart of Albion Permanently Creating to be in Time Reveald & Demolishd Satan Cain Tubal Nimrod Pharoh Priam Bladud Belin Arthur Alfred the Norman Conqueror Richard John

[Edward Henry Elizabeth James Charles William George]

And all the Kings & Nobles of the Earth & all their Glories These are Created by Rahab & Tirzah in Ulro: but around These, to preserve them from Eternal Death Los Creates Adam Noah Abraham Moses Samuel David Ezekiel

[Pythagoras Socrates Euripedes Virgil Dante Milton]

Dissipating the rocky forms of Death, by his thunderous Hammer As the Pilgrim passes while the Country permanent remains So Men pass on: but States remain permanent for ever

The Spectres of the Dead howl round the porches of Los In the terrible Family feuds of Albions cities & villages To devour the Body of Albion, hungring & thirsting & ravning The Sons of Los clothe them & feed, & provide houses & gardens And every Human Vegetated Form in its inward recesses Is a house of ple[as]antness & a garden of delight Built by the Sons & Daughters of Los in Bowlahoola & in Cathedron

From London to York & Edinburgh the Furnaces rage terrible Primrose Hill is the mouth of the Furnace & the Iron Door;
