It was part of Blake's original scheme to have published "Europe" always as a book dictated by a fairy, as the preface from Mr. Linnell's copy shows.
She is recognized as a feminine western figure, being the queen of waters, but is northern when viewed in contrast with the next.
Manatha Varcyon should be a sun fairy ; a feminine figure of sunrise clouds.
