The poem that Blake first prepared as a counterpart in Experience for
"The Divine Image" of *Songs of Innocence* is as follows:
A Divine Image
Cruelty has a Human Heart
And Jealousy a Human Face;
Terror, the Human From Divine
And Secrecy, the Human Dress.
The Human Dress, is forged Iron
The Human Form, a fiery Forge.
The Human Face, a Furnace seal'd
The Human Heart, its hungry Gorge.
The design shows a kneeling nude figure in the act of wielding a
hammer (resembles B's later representations of Los - just as the old
bearded gowned man in the design for "The Human Abstract" can be
thought of as a first appearance of Urizen, as yet unnamed). The Los
figure faces front in relation to the viewer, hammer brought back over
his r. side (viewer's left), preparing to strike a human-faced sun on
the anvil at his left. That is, he is side-oriented toward the project
he's working on and the heavy-looking hammer is in the
furthest-backward position to give maximum force to the blow he is
about to strike. There's only the upper part of the sun-face on the
anvil, with eyes turned up. (The clumsiness of this description points
to the need to look at the actual picture on Nelson Hilton's or the
University of Virginia site. An aside: I worry that all this online
chat is taking people away from books! When people ask where to find
commentary on "The French Revolution" or some other poem, I always
wonder if they've checked the standard bibliographies yet.)
Back to some quick thoughts on "The Human Abstract":
I think Blake must have decided that this first shot at a counterpart
poem for *Experience*, "A Divine Image," presented too simple a set of
oppositions - just "The Divine Image" in reverse, showing images or
ideas of God derived from the worst in human nature and action. For a
deeper set of oppositions, he reversed "Divine" to "Human" and "Image"
to "Abstract," showing how badly we distort and falsify "the human
form divine" when we create obfuscating myths and images and
theologies in which God is the Wholly Other. The Tree of Mystery (or
Poison Tree) is Blake's name for the Tree of Knowledge of Good and
Evil (opposite of the Tree of Life) in Genesis. The reason that "The
Gods of the earth and sea" (whoever they may be) can't find this tree
is that they are looking in the wrong place, in Nature; the tree is
our own creation; it grows in the Human Brain (and turns us into
Urizen-like people when we - and our worst attributes - cultivate and
water it and eat its fruit of "Deceit."

I haven't had time to keep a close eye on all of this discussion, but is
there some reason why the _Book of Urizen_ is the only place we can look
for portrayals of Urizen? The clearest depiction of Urizen before the fall
is spoken by Ahania in _The Four Zoas_. (Night III, as I recall). You may
classify this as "pissing and moaning," but it's still a beautiful passage.
There's much to be said about the fact that Eternity is so often described
through the warped goggles of pastoral nostalgia: Urizen himself falls
victim to it in Night VI, apparently oblivious to his own role in the fall.
But if Eternity is never depicted in the present, what is being described
at the end of _FZ_?

Hello everyone. I'm a new subscriber to the awesome Blake page, and
thought I'd give a brief introduction of myself.
I'm currently taking an 18th and 19th century literature course at
UCBerkeley and we just finished discussing (all too breifly) Blake's"
Songs
of Innocence and Experience" and some of the " Proverbs of Hell." Being
that I can't get enough of Blake, I look up some stuff on the net and to
my delight found you guys.
I'm in the process of writing a short 5 pager on "A Divine Image" and will
fill you all in on some ruminations a bit later.
I can't tell you enough what a pleasure and exciting thing it is to know
that people out there consider poetry for the sheer joy and mental musings
it incites. It sincerly makes me have a better out look on life and my
fellow humans. Hear from you soon, Lettycia Terrones.

Allow me to introduce myself.
My name is David Downie and i am a graduate student at the University of
Nebraska at Omaha, currently scurrying to finish off my MA before the
current Romantics Professor retires. (About 3 years too early for me to
replace him) -- (And get this, he is retiring to finish his book on Willa
Cather. - some of us Nebraskans are fixated on her, but not me.)
Anyway, my first question to the group is for any and all WWW resources
related to William Blake that you may be aware of that I am not.
If a list has circulated before, I would appreciate a fwd .
In particular, I am lacking Criticism (or is it that the web is lacking ?)
I am compiling a web page as the means of my thesis presentation, so if
anyone has readily available electronic texts to donate to an effort to
consolidate Blake Resources. I would also accept any attachments and
gladly =post your work on the web. For Free. _ What a deal , huh ?
Private e-mail is preferable.

The quotation from Charlie provides much insight into Blake's vision of
Eternity - in case others are still looking for examples of this and what did
others think of Oothoon's speech re love being as free as the mountain
wind? And recalling times when she brought golden girls for the
pleasure of her Zoa? These passages throw a great deal of light on the
intermingling of essences of all the spirits in Eternity -- of their mingling
of their soft fibres which become hardened into fleshy forms in Nature
after Urizen finds the loves and graces of Eternity sinful. I think few (if
any?) critics see the true meaning of what Oothoon says. Pam van

Actually Benson,
I am an education major, preparing to give a lesson to tenth graders on
Blake. I enjoy this poem thoroughly and plan on including it in my lesson.
I would hope to be as prepared as possible when I teach it. Also I am
planning on demonstrating how students can get into a disscussion via the
internet. I believe this will encourage more youth to actively participate
in the discussion of poetry. The problem I see with youngsters, as well as
adults, is that they believe there to be a mysticism to the realm of
poetry. I hope that demonstrating how one can bring that mysticism down
into consciousness by discussing a poem and understanding it to themselves
is important. Therefore I am practicing my skills at locating information,
satisfying my own curiosity, and empowering students by enabling them the
vehicle to discover poetry.
I have no paper due, if you are truly interested.

I also think this quote gives a good picture of the pre-fall
condition as Blake conceived it, Eden. They say The Book of Los is
often overlooked as a minor edition to the overall illuminated
cannon, but with passages in it like this quote, I wonder... This
pre-fall state was when no restraint was placed upon Human desires.
Satisfy one's need for Wrath not with a movie or a petty argument as
we might today, but with the gore of Lions. Lust was satisfied by a
"virgins lute" or by "her love." Envy was fully spoken, so it was
known. The Human Emotions in all their Glory were allowed to be
Expressed & Uttered and Felt, they were not suppressed, "and none
impure were deem'd." No such thing as sin here.
I do think it is interesting how the last couple of lines refer to
the beginning of distinct races, linking it to when Man first felt
ownership over *his* true love. (?)

Does anyone have an idea about the caterpillar and the fly? I am trying to
figure out why they are feeding off the mystery. Are there any references
of a caterpillar and fly anywhere?

TJM
The Lord of the flies was Beelzebub;
they are scavengers and feed on the dead, as do worms (caterpillar?)
So a very simplistic analogy might run something like: the evil and
opportunistic scavenger feeds on the detestable Mystery, (see
concordances and annotatons to edns of Blake on his mistrust of
Mystery) which breeds more evil and opportunist plunder, oppression.

Try relating the Fly, Caterpillar (and all other noxious animals mentioned

be seen as representative of human types. The Fly can be seen as
having as much right to life as man in the line "Art thou not a man like
me...?", but, like the Spider (associated with Urizen weaving his nets of
Religion) is also capable of representing the oppositie of humanity in its
noxious aspect. The Tiger and Worm also have both benign and malign
aspects ... the Worm can free the soul from the prison of the body, and
can have an infant human form to be cherished by the Clay (in the Book
of Thel), but can also represent man's declension from his/her divine
human form into a `worm' from which , like the caterpillar, the butterfly
must ultimately emerge again. Excuse the very compressed answer. ...

Keri, Temenos recently accepted a videotape I made on Blake's Vision of
the Fall of Man which will therefore be available to anyone to see from
now on at the address you gave. It is based on 15o of Blake's own
designs and tells the story of the fall from Innocence into Experience and
the regaining of Innocence. It was made for Unisa fourth year students
several years ago and I apologise in advance for the awful synthesised
music which the Department of Technology chose to fit the program to...
the music cuts I chose would have cost the university too much. I'd really
like to get feedback on the program if anyone sees it. There is also a
slide-tape show of mine which I made to commemorate the recent 2ooth

Strawberry Hill which you may like to keep along with the videotape at
Temenos. I'd really appreciate it, if you could locate the slide-lecture and
keep it safely and make it availabel to visitors interested in Blake. Also,
please send love to Kathleen Raine whom I met long ago in London and
who was kind enought to treat me to tea in her house, and an interesting
discussion on Blake. I have a lot of material for my own Blake web-site
which I hope to open... when I get some time to focus on doing so, and

advice on whether one can illustrate freely with Blake slides - or can
avoid copyright by altering them or zooming in and out. Anyone out there

Pam,
I like your explanation of the butterfly aspect of the worm. I was
puzzled over, but didn't take the time to think through, as you did,
the transcendence that the image partially suggests. After all, there
has to be a way out of that horrific cycle...
