A Divine Image - By William Blake



   Cruelty has a human heart,
     And Jealousy a human face;
   Terror the human form divine,
     And Secresy the human dress.

   The human dress is forged iron,
     The human form a fiery forge,
   The human face a furnace sealed,
     The human heart its hungry gorge.

   NOTE:  Though written and engraved by Blake, "A DIVINE IMAGE" was
   never included in the SONGS OF INNOCENCE AND OF EXPERIENCE.
