To realize who Rintrali and Palamabron are, we must look a few lines higher up for their origin (ll. 451, 458 and 470).
Rintrah. and Palamabron, both "flames" or inspirations, cut Satan or naturalism off from Art, or Grolgonooza. Satan in tears is equivalent to the soft side of Tharmas, whose spectre was eternal death.
Enitharmon (who has a right to tears, being Pity, and female) made him a moony space as he rolled down beneath those "fires of Ore" (Night VIII., 1. 366), who were Rintrah and Palamabron, to whom Ore was a father as well as brother (Night VII., ll. 474, 475), just as Schofield was, in his turn, in "Jerusalem," p. 7, ll. 43.

Then Ore as the father of his brethren who wanted to chain them to the rock, "Vala," Night VII., l. 475, becomes identified with Satan, who tempted them to flee away. The flight, which is out of the prophetic into the vegetative region, is only the action of the chain disguised in suavity. It is
