Golgonooza
Golgonooza is a mythical city in the work of William Blake. Golgonooza is a City of Imagination built by Los, the spiritual Four-fold London, a vision of London and also linked to Jerusalem and is Blake's great city of art and science.
The city consists of the physical bodies of man and woman. There is Los's palace (the intellect) in the South and his forge with furnaces in the middle called Bowlahoola (the organs of the animal man). "In the North Gate, in the West of the North, toward Beulah" there is the golden hall of Cathedron that contains the Enitharmon's looms (the womb), where the physical body of man is woven. There is the Gate of Luban (the vagina) in the middle of the city. All these is surrounded with a moat of fire. Golgonooza is walled against Satan and his wars. Around the city there is the land of Allamanda (the nervous system of the vegetated man) in the forests of Entuthon Benython with the Lake of Udan Adan.
Fourfold internal structure of the city reflects the fourfold structure of the Sons of Los. Blake explains this as follows:

Playing With Fire
by: Cale HawkinsIn a brand new place, brand new life
Brand new line between what's wrong and what's right
And now you're messing 'round with something new
What do you expect me to do? 'Cause you're
Playing with fire (Don't know what to do) Well you're
Playing with fire (You look like a fool) You're
Playing with fire (Don't know which way's up or down)
Don't come running to me when you hit the ground
From the farthest shores to the nearest seas
From the places you go 'till the people you meet
And now you're messing 'round with someone new
What do you expect me to do? 'Cause you're
Playing with fire (Don't know what to do) Well you're
Playing with fire (You look like a fool) You're
Playing with fire (Don't know which way's up or down)
