Blake creates symbols, not signs; they are open-ended not circumscribing. You've noticed that each of the images for Plate 20 uses different details - adding, subtracting and altering. You can focus on the dog, the colors, the hand positions, the feet or whatever captures your attention, but the meaning is in how you process the information not in the details.<br /><br />Jerusalem, Plate 83, (E 241)<br />"Let Cambel and her Sisters sit within the Mundane Shell:<br />Forming the fluctuating Globe according to their will,<br />According as they weave the little embryon nerves & veins <br />The Eye, the little Nostrils, & the delicate Tongue & Ears<br />Of labyrinthine intricacy: so shall they fold the World<br />That whatever is seen upon the Mundane Shell, the same<br />Be seen upon the Fluctuating Earth woven by the Sisters.<br /><br />And sometimes the Earth shall roll in the Abyss & sometimes <br />Stand in the Center & sometimes stretch flat in the Expanse,<br />According to the will of the lovely Daughters of Albion.<br />Sometimes it shall assimilate with mighty Golgonooza:<br />Touching its summits: & sometimes divided roll apart.<br />As a beautiful Veil so these Females shall fold & unfold <br />According to their will the outside surface of the Earth<br />An outside shadowy Surface superadded to the real Surface;<br />Which is unchangeable for ever & ever Amen: so be it!<br />Separate Albions Sons gently from their Emanations,"ellie Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13708032405797473211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34585979.post-85402898731429018952018-02-18T06:55:03.859-05:002018-02-18T06:55:03.859-05:00Why is the daughter who is facing Job gazing at he...Why is the daughter who is facing Job gazing at her leftt hand which is touching the floor?
