Jump to navigationJump to searchThen Tharmas & Urthona felt the stony stupor rise/ Into their limbs Urthona shot forth a Vast Fibrous form/ Tharmas like a pillar of sand rolld round by the whirlwind/ An animated Pillar rolling round & round in incessant rage/ Los felt the stony stupor & his head rolld down beneath/ Into the Abysses of his bosom the vessels of his blood/ Dart forth upon the wind in pipes writhing about in the Abyss/ And Enitharmon pale & cold in milky juices flowd/ Into a form of Vegetation living having a voice/ Moving in rootlike fibres trembling in fear upon the Earth/ And Tharmas gave his Power to Los Urthona gave his strength
