Plate 9 from William Blake’s First Book of Urizen, associated with his concept of “Newton’s sleep” or the sleep of reason (Urizen as a pun on “reason,” “horizon,” etc). The image of falling into a “clod of clay” bound by energetic snakes is part of Blake’s mythic vision enacting an intellectual fall into physical bounded existence. We become clods of clay bound by forces we don’t control—a nightmare in any technology age! Source: William Blake Archive.
