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.
