A Handlist of Works by William Blake in the Department of Prints and Drawings of the British Museum, With Supplementary Notes | G. E. Bentley, Jr. | Blake/An Illustrated Quarterly

The Handlist was compiled by Mr. Richard Morgan of the staff of the Department of Prints and Drawings, working largely from a list of press-marks (under subject headings such as those at the beginning of Part 1, e.g., ‘Engravings by Blake’) without title, supplemented by references chiefly to Binyon and Russell. I have identified prints and drawings with information beyond what is given in Binyon and Russell^*↤ *The doubts as to authenticity expressed in this Handlist are those of GEB, not of the Print Room staff. and amplified descriptions such as ‘Figure studies’. In general picture titles in quotation marks are Blake’s own, e.g., ‘ “How I pity” ’ written on the design, or contemporary with him, such as ‘ “The Fertilization of Egypt” ’; picture ‘titles’ in lower case letters, such as ‘A female figure walking’, are modern descriptions rather than titles.

The Handlist is presented here with the assistance of Mr. Reginald Williams and with the permission of the Keeper of the Department of Prints and Drawings.

Those who have studied the collection of works by Blake in the past will recognize that this Handlist greatly simplifies and expedites the identification and tracing of Blake’s works.

LOS
Chap. I
1: Eno aged Mother.
Who the chariot of Leutha guides.
Since the day of thunders in old time
2: Sitting beneath the eternal Oak
Trembled and shook the stedfast Earth
And thus her speech broke forth.
3: O Times remote!
When Love & Joy were adoration:
And none impure were deem’d.
Not Eyeless Covet
Nor Thin-lip’d Envy
Nor Bristled Wrath
Nor Curled Wantonness
4: But Covet was poured full:
Envy fed with fat of lambs:
Wrath with lions gore:
Wantonness lulld to sleep
With the virgins lute.
Or sated with her love.
5: Till Covet broke his locks & bars.
And slept with open doors:
Envy sung at the rich mans feast:
Wrath was follow’d up and down
By a little ewe lamb
And Wantonness on his own true love
Begot a giant race:
6: Raging furious the flames of desire
Ran thro’ heaven & earth, living flames
Intelligent, organizd; arm’d
With destruction & plagues. In the midst
The Eternal Prophet bound in a chain
Compell’d to watch Urizens shadow
7: Rag’d with curses & sparkles of fury
Round the flames roll as Los hurls
his chains
Mounting up from his fury, condens’d
Rolling round & round. mounting on high
Into vacuum: into non-entity.
Where nothing was! dash’d wide apart
His feet stamp the eternal fierce-raging
Rivers of wide flame; they roll round
And round on all sides making their way
Into darkness and shadowy obscurity
8: Wide apart stood the fires; Los remain’d
In the void between fire and fire
In trembling and horror they beheld him
They stood wide apart, driv’n by his hands
And his feet which the nether abyss
Stamp’d in fury and hot indignation
9: But no light from the fires all was
Dark
