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.
