Illuminati symbolism in Kubrick’s “Eyes Wide Shut”
William Blake’s engraving, “The Downfall of the Rebel Angels” for Paradise Lost.
“So spake the Son, and into terror chang’d
His count’nance too severe to be beheld,
And full of wrath bent on his enemies.
At once the Four spread out their starry wings,
With dreadful shade contiguous, and the orbs
Of his fierce chariot roll’d, as with the sound
Of torrent floods, or of a numerous host.
He on his impious foes right onward drove,
Gloomy as night; under his burning wheels
The steadfast empyrean shook throughout,
All but the throne itself of God. Full soon
Among them he arriv’d, in his right hand
Grasping ten thousand thunders, which he sent
Before him, such as in their souls infix’d
Plagues; they astonish’d, all resistance lost,
All courage; down their idle weapons dropp’d;”John Milton, P.L., VI; 824-839.
