The Book of Urizen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Book of Urizen is one of the major prophetic books of the English poet William Blake. The First Book of Urizen was published in 1794, illustrated by Blake's own plates. It takes its name from the Urizen character in Blake's mythology.
Urizen's first four sons are Thiriel, Utha, Grodna and Fuzon (respectively elemental Air, Water, Earth, Fire, according to Chapter VIII). The last of these plays a major role in The Book of Ahania, published the following year.
