  • Artist Info: A Divine Image <br />
    by William Blake <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    Cruelty has a Human heart<br />
    And Jealousy a Human Face,<br />
    Terror, the Human Form Divine,<br />
    And Secrecy, the Human Dress.<br />
    <br />
    The Human Dress is forgéd Iron,<br />
    The Human Form, a fiery Forge,<br />
    The Human Face, a Furnace seal'd,<br />
    The Human Heart, its hungry Gorge.<br />
    <br />
    A Poison Tree <br />
    by William Blake <br />
    <br />
    <br />
    I was angry with my friend:<br />
    I told my wrath, my wrath did end.<br />
    I was angry with my foe:<br />
    I told it not, my wrath did grow.<br />
    <br />
    And I watered it in fears<br />
    Night and morning with my tears,<br />
    And I sunned it with smiles<br />
    And with soft deceitful wiles.<br />
    <br />
    And it grew both day and night,<br />
    Till it bore an apple bright,<br />
    And my foe beheld it shine,<br />
    And he knew that it was mine,--<br />
    <br />
    And into my garden stole<br />
    When the night had veiled the pole;<br />
    In the morning, glad, I see<br />
    My foe outstretched beneath the tree.<br />
