CLOSING POLARITY


-*--PRIMARY CLIMAX:
 War and Weaving drop out


 IT
relates Los and
Enithormon's
creation to
SECOND
ANALYSIS OF
HERMAPHRODITE
[Urizen absent]

I
"Enitharmon
wove in tears
, ." Los and
Enitharmon's
family of
embodied
spectres be-
comes Jerusalem
with the Lamb
interior;
2
Sons of Eden
sing around
the Lamb;
1ithey announced
 that the Lamb
 Begins "to
 put off the
 dark Satanic
 body"; they
 reinterpret
 Los and
 Enitharmon's
 work as a
 process of
 weaving, un-
 weaving, and
 reweaving
 (Tree of
 Mystery
 mentioned)
 Rahab tries
 to smite
 Lamb but
 destroys her
 own clothing
 Sons call on
 the Lomb to
 "Assume the
 dark Satanic
 body"

 Satan appears
 as a hermaphro-
 dite and as a
 male without
 female counter-
 part hiding
 "Shadowy
 female Vola"
 Los sees not
 Satan,

 but Lamb
 born of
 Jerusalem in
 mystery's
 woven mantle
 and Luvah's
 robes--
 to give
 vegetative
 body so that
 spiritual body
 Imay be revealed I

 [but it is not
 revealed]


Synagogue of Satan [vs. Council of God and vision of
all Beulah at beginning of Night nII]
"Satan divided against Satan"
"ASHES OF MYSTERY BEGAN to animate"


*--SECONDARY CLIMAX:


Alternative per-
spective on the
crucifixion:
Rahab as cruci-
fier--> Rahab
lures Urizen's
lust


"when Rahab had
cut off the
mantle, .." from
the Lamb Rohab's
turpitude is re-
vealed [not the
Lamb in "his
glory" (as in
deleted segment)]
2
Rahab tempts
Los: Los re-
sponds with
speech about
"states" which
inverts narra-
tive priorities
F-!-- -I1
 recites his
 generations
 = proof that
 Urizen's plot
 to stop Los's
 sexual
 procreation
 in TIra has
 been under-
 mined; Satan's
 role reinter-
 preted; Jerusa-I
 lem becomes
 the weaver
 rather than
 the woven;
 Jesus is
 seventh
3
Rahab acquires
power from Los's
speech, tempts
Urizen who falls
into horrible
dragon form of
sexual lust:
"Forgetful of
his own Laws'
numming
stupor"

Jerusalem enters
as a character:
perceives Lamb
on the Tree as
"the Body dead

her perspective
spreads to Los
who takes the
Body from the
Cross to the
sepulcher he
built for him-
self in despair
