Eno aged mother Who the chariot of Leutha guides Since the day of thunders in old time Sitting beneath the eternal oak Trembled and shook the stedfast earth And thus her speech broke forth O times remote! when love and joy Were adoration: and none impure were deemed not Eyeless covet nor thin-liped envy Nor bristled wrath nor curled wantonness Eno aged mother Who the chariot of leutha guides Since the day of thunders in old time Sitting beneath the eternal oak But covet was poured full Envy fed with fat of lambs Wrath with lions gore Wantonness lulled to sleep With the virgins lute Or sated with her love Eno aged mother Till covet broke his locks And bars and slept with open doors Envy sung at the rich mans feast Wrath was follow'd up and down by a little ewe lamb And wantoness on his own true love begot a giant race Raging furious the flames of desire Ran thro' heaven and earth, living flames Intelligent, organized Armed with destruction and plagues In the midst the Eternal prophet bound in a chain Compelled to watch Urizens shadow Rag'd with curses and sparkles of Fury round the flames roll as Los hurls his chains Mounting up from his fury, condensed Rolling round and round, mounting on High Into vacuum: into nonentity Where nothing was Where nothing dash'd wide apart His feet stamp the eternal fierce-raging Rivers of wide flame; they roll round and round on all Sides making their way Into darkness and shadowy obscurity Wide apart stood the fires Los remain'd in the void between fire and fire In trembling and horror they beheld him They stood wide apart, driven by his hands And his feet which the nether abyss stamped in fury and Hot indignation But no light from the fires All was darkness round Los heat Was not for bound up Into fiery spheres from his fury the gigantic flames trembled and hid Coldness, darkness, obstruction A Solid without fluctuation, hard as adamant Black as marble of Egypt Impenetrable bound in the fierce raging immortal And the seperated fires froze in a vast solid without fluctuation Bound in his expanding clear senses
