in starry numbers fitly orderd

Selections from William Blake, processed through word frequency software, edited by Robert Mapson

 

 

 

Hell cast words new mortal mind bound

Genius gave delight alone

Else dread desires descend

Raging precious philosophy oft noble

He goes fourfold fortune form’d.

 

Time throughout tells sure steps, sits singing sincere sighs.

Thyself thunderous then surrounding Surrey,

Jerusalem intended indignation indefinite,

Dim demons defend darkning crystal,

Avoid authority.

 

Washington wandring walk’d wailing,

Solitary soldiers slay,

Lords loose look’d lonely.

 

Sensible senses seldom see

Infinitely inclosed incessantly.

 

Conception completed compell’d compassion,

Textual terror tears,

Revolution reviving revive return!

Existence exalted eternity escaped.

 

Caesars cadences burn’d,

Three-fold threatening thoughts,

Prophetic propensity pronounced.

 

Orc! Orator opression oppressive opposes.

Blaspheming Blake

Infinities infinite!

Immensity immeasurable

Adulterate adrift adorned adoring.
