One more (k)cute (k)correspondence, Erin or Ireland, in
Blake's Jerusalem is the holy Body, the Rainbow promise of
immortality, and its bodyspiritual Instincts, Erin is the
first to come from Los's furnace, she reaches from the
starry depths to the starry heights, and like America, she
is separated by the sea, but the selfish materialized
Spectre, where as in GR's evil gnostic universe, there is no
sex, save the homosexual sex of the moon colonists, creates
a substitute parody, "A Sexual Machine, An Aged Virgin Form
in Erin's Land toward the north", and calls it Religion.
