1The sky is an immortal tent built by the Sons of Los:

2And every space that a man views around his dwelling-place

3Standing on his own roof or in his garden on a mount

4Of twenty-five cubits in height, such space is his universe:

5And on its verge the sun rises and sets, the clouds bow

6To meet the flat earth and the sea in such an order'd space:

7The starry heavens reach no further, but here bend and set

8On all sides, and the two Poles turn on their valves of gold:

9And if he moves his dwelling-place, his heavens also move

10Where'er he goes, and all his neighbourhood bewail his loss.

11Such are the spaces called Earth and such its dimension.

12As to that false appearance which appears to the reasoner

13As of a globe rolling through voidness, it is a delusion of Ulro.

14The microscope knows not of this nor the telescope: they alter

15The ratio of the spectator's organs, but leave objects untouch'd.

16For every space larger than a red globule of Man's blood

17Is visionary, and is created by the Hammer of Los;

18And every space smaller than a globule of Man's blood opens

19Into Eternity of which this vegetable Earth is but a shadow.

20The red globule is the unwearied sun by Los created

21To measure time and space to mortal men every morning.
