ⓘ Dark Satanic mills Cette formule ("Les sombres et diaboliques usines") est tirée du cantique Jerusalem, inspiré d'un poème de William Blake de 1804 (le poème est connu sous le titre Jerusalem mais son titre diffère en réalité de celui du cantique). Ces mots évoquent la transformation du paysage du nord d'Angleterre survenue avec la révolution industrielle. Aujourd'hui on les cite volontiers pour parler de cette période de l'histoire d'Angleterre ou bien pour évoquer tout paysage industriel hideux et oppressant.
