Albion
In the mythology of William Blake, Albion is the first man, created by God. He was perfect and whole, but he fell from grace and divided into four parts: Urizen, Tharmas, Luvah/Orc, and Urthona/Los. These four parts represent the different aspects of human nature: reason, emotion, passion, and imagination. The story of Albion's fall and division is a story of the human condition, and it is one that Blake tells with passion and insight.
