London Stone

Standing Stone / Menhir

Miscellaneous

A short excerpt from William Blake's Jerusalem: The Emanation of the Giant Albion.

"They groan'd aloud on London Stone
They groan'd aloud on Tyburn's Brook
Albion gave his deadly groan,
And all the Atlantic mountains shook."

The accompanying notes say the following;
"The ancient stone in the east central part of London and the site of public execution in the western part form a London Stonehenge, a place of druidical sacrifice where Albion is tortured."
