      * Key quotations
	
When the Stars threw down their spears
And watered heaven with their tears
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?
			William Blake, The Tyger (1794)

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God 
On England's pleasant pastures seen?

And did the countenance divine 
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here 
Among those dark Satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold:
Bring me my arrows of desire:
Bring me my spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire.

I will not cease from mental fight. 
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land. 
		William Blake, Milton (1804-08)
