A Divine Image

    (A poem by William Blake)

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

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