Visions Of The Daughters Of Albion by William Blake
A short, intense prophetic lyric that follows the young Oothoon, who is assaulted by the brutish Bromion while the anguished Theotormon, torn between desire and rigid moral scruples, cannot accept her; through their tragic entanglement the poem denounces sexual repression, the oppressive institutions of law and marriage, and broader social and political bondage, using mythic characters and visionary imagery to argue for personal and sexual liberation.
