The Four Zoas by William Blake
An unfinished prophetic epic that dramatizes the fall and fragmentation of primordial man into four elemental powers—reason, passion, imagination, and bodily instinct—and follows their bitter conflicts, betrayals, and visionary struggles. Through symbolic characters, apocalyptic scenes, and shifting landscapes, the poem tracks cycles of oppression, revolt, love, and creative labor as the fractured faculties strain under social and cosmic decay yet edge toward the possibility of reconciliation and spiritual regeneration.
