"The First Book of Urizen" is a prophetic book by the English poet, painter, and printmaker William Blake, first published in 1794. Part of Blake's larger body of work that has come to be known as his "Prophetic Books," "The First Book of Urizen" delves into complex mythological themes and explores the nature of creation, revolution, and the human condition. The title character, Urizen, is a representation of conventional reason and law, often interpreted as a satirical depiction of the God of the Old Testament or a symbol of the repressive moral and institutional structures of Blake's time.

This work is notable for its experimental use of narrative structure, its rich mythopoetic language, and its intricate illustrations, which Blake produced using his unique relief etching technique, also known as illuminated printing. The book is a part of Blake's critique of the Enlightenment and its emphasis on rationality, which he believed led to the suppression of the artistic and spiritual aspects of life.

"As the stars are apart from the earth" is one of the lines from this work, reflecting the thematic concern with separation and the vast distances between the divine and the human, the spiritual and the material. The book's blend of poetry, philosophy, and art has made it a subject of extensive scholarly interest, with interpretations focusing on its radical theology, its revolutionary political implications, and its innovative aesthetic form.

"The First Book of Urizen" is considered one of Blake's most significant and challenging works, offering insights into his complex mythological universe and serving as a critical reflection on the social and political issues of his time. It remains a key text for understanding the Romantic era's artistic and intellectual movements, as well as Blake's own visionary approach to art and poetry.
