The First Book of Urizen
by William Blake
III.
 
  
  
7. And a roof vast, petrific around 
On all sides he fram'd, like a womb, 
Where thousands of rivers in veins 
Of blood pour down the mountains to cool 
The eternal fires, beating without 
From Eternals; & like a black globe, 
View'd by sons of Eternity standing 
On the shore of the infinite ocean, 
Like a human heart, strugling & beating, 
The vast world of Urizen appear'd.
