In 1808 William Blake made the second set of nine water-color drawings illustrating Paradise Lost.  (The first set of twelve subjects was apparently done in 1807, and is now at the Huntington Library in San Marino).  Diane Alburger, a former student in English 162, lent me her copy of a book published in 1940 that reproduces this second set, and the images linked below are from that book.

1. Illustration for Book III:  "Father thy word is passed, man shall find grace.

2. For  Book IV: "Ah, gentle pair, ye little think how nigh/ Your change approaches."

3. Another for  Book IV : "Him they found/ Squat like a toad, close at the ear of Eve."

4. For  Book V:  "Meanwhile at table Eve/ Ministered naked, and their flowing cups/ with pleasant liquors crowned."

5. For end of  Book VI : "Headlong themselves they threw/ Down from the verge of heaven."

6. For  Book VIII : "Under his forming hands a creature grew,/ Manlike, but different sex, so lovely fair/ That what seemed   fair in all the world seemed now/ Mean."

7. For  Book IX : "So saying, her rash hand in evil hour/ Forth-reaching to the fruit, she plucked, she eat."

8. For  Book XII : "For this he shall live hated, be blasphemed,/ Seized on by force, judged, and to death condemned." (Prophecy of Crucifixion).

9. For end of  Book XII: "The hastening Angel caught/ Our lingering parents, and to th' eastern gate/ Led them direct."

The Huntington Library has two version of the encounter of Satan, Sin, and Death.  Here's one of the versions , different from the copy I brought to class.
