William Blake's Song of Los 2
In this image, Los resting on a cloud, leans on his hammer, the symbol of his creative energy.
He stares down at the bright red sun that he has fashioned out of components of his own soul.
The sun represents the giver of life, that most fundamental of elements which keeps the world in balance and nurtures the development of all physical matter.
