Los and Orb
- Title
- Los and Orb
- Student Commentary:
- In this image The Book of Urizen (1958 facsimile), Los appears doubled over, perhaps in pain. His hands are pressed against the side of his head with palms flat, as if he is squeezing his head. His sweat and blood drips all down his body and into a glowing orb in the center of the image. This orb is thought to be the growing Enitharmon, who was the first female figure that emerged from the life blood of Los. In a way, this is a creation image.
