The First Book of Urizen

by William Blake

Preludium to the First Book of Urizen





Of the primeval Priest's assum'd power,
When Eternals spurn'd back his religion
And gave him a place in the north,
Obscure, shadowy, void, solitary.

Eternals! I hear your call gladly.
Dictate swift winged words & fear not
to unfold your dark visions of torment.
