A Vision of Albion

分类: 英语诗歌 
I see the Fourfold Man; the Humanity in deadly sleep,

    And its fallen Emanation, the Spectre and its cruel Shadow.

    I see the Past, Present, and Future existing all at once

    Before me. O Divine Spirit! sustain me on thy wings,

    That I may awake Albion from his long and cold repose;

    For Bacon and Newton, sheath'd in dismal steel, their terrors hang

    Like iron scourges over Albion. Reasonings like vast Serpents

    Enfold around my limbs, bruising my minute articulations.

    I turn my eyes to the Schools and Universities of Europe,

    And there behold the Loom of Locke, whose Woof rages dire,

    Wash'd by the Water-wheels of Newton: black the cloth

    In heavy wreaths folds over every Nation: cruel Works

    Of many Wheels I view, wheel without wheel, with cogs tyrannic,

    Moving by compulsion each other; not as those in Eden, which,

    Wheel within wheel, in freedom revolve, in harmony and peace.
