A DIVINE IMAGE

by William Blake

Romantic · Short · 8 lineslovefaith

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.
