William Blake

For Mercy has a human heart,
Pity a human face,
And Love, the human form divine,
And Peace, the human dress.

("The Divine Image" from Songs of Innocence)


Cruelty has a Human Heart,
And Jealousy a Human Face,
Terror the Human Form Divine,
And Secrecy the Human Dress.

The Human Dress is forged Iron,
The Human Form a fiery Forge,
The Human Face a Furnace seal'd,
The Human Heart it's hungry Gorge.

("A Divine Image" from Songs of Experience)
