Battle weaves web and prepares Urizen's path before him

Urizen's web returns, becomes an instrument of war

War begins explicitly: trumpets

Tharmas stays flight; draws Urizen into battle

Urizen confronts Spectre of Urthona


Urizen enters North conducted by "Providence divine" [legitimizes Urizen's
journey]
Compass points in "Eternal times"; neither clockwise nor counterclockwise
but polar
Tharmas fleeing from Urizen, chasing Enion=creation of spaces of
Urizen's journey
Four worlds described as Tharmas resurfaces: Urizen aged
Urizen's lived journey reduced to map: articulated clockwise (contrary to
narrated journey)
Web temporarily disappears: narrative assumes web's perspective
Web appears: unconscious aspect of Urizen's books

Disappearance of books accompanies Urizen's ability to speak and attain
control of "Vortexes"
"Divine hand"appears along with erratic cosmos; then books temporarily disappear
Creates books as linear stay against cycle
Urizen becomes subject to cycle
Sudden entrance of "ever pitying one" who creates maternal "bosom" (clay/slime)
"Downward falling falling falling" (reenacts 1If, 44:1-5)


Urizen throws himself into empty Eastern world of Luvah (71:20)

Urizen approaches East (71:15) and glances back at his spatial journey
(the past)

Urizen's children permanently bound (like Orc), and Urizen "himself
was Subject"
