William Blake’s Vision of Angels (number four-three-two)

"Angel-sigh foursquare and solid
in the tree, green tree support them
turn to kiss each eye, each forehead
in the all-enclosed Argentum.

"Angel-cried in closed trinity
in the hearth, gold fire blazing
godly flames up the starred chimney
each tear torn from eye, amazing.

"Angel-death in binary collusion
my vision holds the fact to life
of all this cold, visionary illusion
of myself, my work, my caring wife."
