From Milton, Plate 26

Milton, Plate 26 [28],(E 123) 

"And these the Labours of the Sons of Los in Allamanda: 

And in the City of Golgonooza: & in Luban: & around 

The Lake of Udan-Adan, in the Forests of Entuthon Benython 

Where Souls incessant wail, being piteous Passions & Desires 

With neither lineament nor form but like to watry clouds 

The Passions & Desires descend upon the hungry winds 

For such alone Sleepers remain meer passion & appetite; 

The Sons of Los clothe them & feed & provide houses & fields 

And every Generated Body in its inward form, 

Is a garden of delight & a building of magnificence, 

Built by the Sons of Los in Bowlahoola & Allamanda 

And the herbs & flowers & furniture & beds & chambers 

Continually woven in the Looms of Enitharmons Daughters 

 In bright Cathedrons golden Dome with care & love & tears 

For the various Classes of Men are all markd out determ inate 

In Bowlahoola; & as the Spectres choose their affinities 

So they are born on Earth, & every Class is determinate 

But not by Natural but by Spiritual power alone, 

Because The Natural power continually seeks & tends to 

Destruction Ending in Death: which would of itself be Eternal Death 

And all are Class'd by Spiritual, & not by Natural power.
