Los (Blake)
In the mythological writings of William Blake, Los is the fallen (earthly or human) form of Urthona, one of the four Zoas. He is referred to as the "eternal prophet" and creates the visionary city of Golgonooza. Los is regularly described as a smith, beating with his hammer on a forge, which is metaphorically connected to the beating of the human heart. The bellows of his forge are the human lungs. Los's emanation, Enitharmon, represents spiritual beauty and embodies pity, but at the same time creates the spatial aspect of the fallen world, weaving bodies for men and creating sexual strife through her insistence upon chastity. In the '' Book of Urizen'' (1794), Los and Enitharmon have a child, Orc, who is the embodiment of the spirit of revolution. The name ''Los'' is, by common critical acceptance, an anagram of ''Sol'', the Latin word for "sun". ''Los'' is also the plural form of ''El'', an ancient Hebrew deity. Such innovations are common in many of Blake's prophetic poems. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Spanish Pronouns
Spanish pronouns in some ways work quite differently from their English counterparts. Subject pronouns are often omitted, and object pronouns come in clitic and non-clitic forms. When used as clitics, object pronouns can appear as proclitics that come before the verb or as enclitics attached to the end of the verb in different linguistic environments. There is also regional variation in the use of pronouns, particularly the use of the informal second-person singular '' vos'' and the informal second-person plural ''vosotros''. Personal pronouns Personal pronouns in Spanish have distinct forms according to whether they stand for a subject (nominative), a direct object (accusative), an indirect object (dative), or a reflexive object. Several pronouns further have special forms used after prepositions. Spanish is a pro-drop language with respect to subject pronouns. Like French and other languages with the T–V distinction, Spanish has a distinction in its second person pronouns ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
