Los and Urizen...

The fight between Los and Urizen
Is not what I here do pen...
I only wish, to present dear,
How love and reason fight
With all their strength and might...



Los had an emanation,
Enitharmon was her name,
And together they lived in peace-
As a man lives with his dame...

This Los had a rival arch
And with spear towards Los
He would forever march...
He was none but Urizen
And he stood for only reason!
But Los had a strong mind
Which helped him poetry find...
Everywhere...on the trees..on flowers
In dry hot winds...in heavy showers...


As  Los and Urizen fought
On who would control human thought...
Enitharmon, the coolest maid
Kept her winning idea perfectly laid...
She knew Los could win anyday
If his imagination didn't run astray...
So she spread her magic spell to check
Los from making the gravest mistake
Of flying away, forgetting the fight...
And thus, stopped him from his fanciful flight!


Los thus won the battle of sorts
But Urizen was not all lost
He could come back with vengeful thrust
And throw imagination to the dust!
