William Blake

“ Jerusalem The Emanation of The Giant Albion, copy E, object 56 (Bentley 56, Erdman 56, Keynes 56) "Then Los heaved his thund'ring Bellows on the Valley of Middlesex..."
PLATE 56
Then Los heaved his thund'ring Bellows on the Valley of Middlesex
And thus he chaunted his Song: the Daughters of Albion reply.
What may Man be? who can tell! But what may Woman be?
To have power over Man from Cradle to corruptible Grave. ”

“ Then the response came warbling from trilling Looms in Albion
We Women tremble at the light therefore: hiding fearful
40The Divine Vision with Curtain & Veil & fleshly Tabernacle
Los utter'd: swift as the rattling thunder upon the mountains [:]
Look back into the Church Paul! Look! Three Women around
The Cross! O Albion why didst thou a Female Will Create? ”
