Interchangeable prepositions
Hello,
In the context of poetry writing, trying to avoid the repetition of prepositions, could you tell me which one of these sounds natural :
1. "An occult network of spectral ties."
2. "An occult network from spectral ties."
3. "An occult network with spectral ties."
Thanks in advance.
