Excerpt from The Poetical Works of William Blake, Vol. 2 of 2

Vala

Night The First

The song of the aged mother which shook the heavens with wrath,

Hearing the march of the long-resounding, strong heroic verse

Marshalled in order for the day of Intellectual battle.

The heavens quaked, the earth was moved and shuddered, and the mountains

5 With all their woods and streams and valleys wailed in dismal fear.

Four Mighty Ones are in every Man. A perfect Unity

Cannot exist but from the Universal brotherhood of Eden.

The Universal Man, to whom be glory, evermore; Amen,

Which on the nature of the Lamb"s creation the Lamb"s Father only,

10 No Individual knoweth, nor can know in all Eternity.

Los was the fourth immortal starry one, and in the Earth

Of a bright Universe, Empery attended day and night, -

Days and nights of revolving joy, - Urthona was his name.
