That engine at the door could be the Rocket

"To a young Bostonian, fresh from Germany, Rome seemed a
pure emotion, quite free from economic or actual values, and
he could not in reason or common sense foresee that it was
mechanically piling up conundrum after conundrum in his
educational path, which seemed unconnected but which he had
got to connect; that seemed insoluble but had got to be
somehow solved."

Henry Adams, EHA

Paranoia--Virgin/Anti-Paranoia--Dynamo and the mechanical
Piling up--V. 


"It is also possible to see a relationship between the rise
of women's fiction in the last several centuries and three
interrelated repositories  of archetypal materials:  the
Demeter/Kore and Ishtar/Tammuz rebirth narratives, the Grail
legends of the later Middle Ages, and the cluster of
archetypal and ritual materials constituting the Craft of
the Wise, or witchcraft."

John Milton and Blake too, long before Graves,  knew of the
legend that claimed that Britain's earliest name, Albion,
was derived from Albina ("the white goddess").

In Lycidas, Peter has two keys, we can contrast these and
how they were acquired and what used for,  with the key that
Satan's daughter gives him and how it was acquired and what
it was used for. The sword, the the flame, the engine, it
all comes down to one Rocket or the Cross. 

I will not cease from mental flight
Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand, 
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's Green & pleasant land.
		Blake



"As he grew accustomed to the great gallery of machines , he
began to feel the forty-foot dynamos as a moral force, much
as the early Christians felt about the cross."

We will probably discuss the Virgin(s) and the Dynamo(s),
but we should not omit the Rocket of God or the Cross from
this V.V..

In Paradise Lost the BFE, the BIG F---ing Engine is God's
Rocket. The Son of God rides on it into battle. Satan and
his Sick Crew fight furiously and nobly for two days, but on
the third day,  the Son, riding on (Nobodaddy's) God's
Rocket smites them once.
