Resending, with corrections to the last stanzqa. Sorry. Mervyn


Catweasle prophesied.

William Blake, The Book of Urizen ('your reason', i.e. instrumental
rationality)

Chapter II Urizen announces his principles:

'I have sought for a joy without pain,
For a solid without fluctuation...

'Lo! I unfold my darkness, and on
This rock place, with strong hand, the Book
Of Eternal Brass, written in my solitude:

'Laws of peace, of love, of unity,
Of pity, compassion, forgiveness:
Let each choose one habitation,
His ancient infinite mansion,
One command, one joy, one desire,
One curse, one weight, one measure,
One King, one God, one Law.'

This is the religion of reductionism.
