Additional quotes by William Blake
Thou art a man
God is no more
Thy own humanity
Learn to adore
I will not cease from mental fight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand.
For Mercy has a human heart;
Pity, a human face;
And Love, the human form divine:
And Peace the human dress.
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 its hungry gorge.
