WILLIAM BLAKE, THE ANCIENT DAYS (1794)
Regularity is found at every level in the known universe, from the very biggest to the very smallest, and usually in forms that can be expressed in mathematical equations. it is as if the universe itself embodies rationality. it is as if,, somebody once said: "God is a mathematician"

In the mythology of William Blake, Urizen (/ˈjʊrɪzən/) is the embodiment of conventional reason and law. He is usually depicted as a bearded old man; he sometimes bears architect's tools, to create and constrain the universe; or nets, with which he ensnares people in webs of law and conventional society. Originally, Urizen represented one half of a two-part system, with him representing reason and Los, his opposition, representing imagination. In Blake's reworking of his mythic system, Urizen is one of the four Zoas that result from the division of the primordial man, Albion, and he continues to represent reason. He has an Emanation, or paired female equivalent, Ahania, who stands for Pleasure. In Blake's myth, Urizen is joined by many daughters with three representing aspects of the body. He is also joined by many sons, with four representing the four elements. These sons join in rebellion against their father but are later united in the Last Judgment. In many of Blake's books, Urizen is seen with four books that represent the various laws that he places upon humanity.
