A Divine Image

A Divine Image

‘’’A Divine Image’’’ is a poem by William Blake from the Songs of Experience, not to be confused with The Divine Image from the Songs of Innocence.

Text of the poem

A Divine Image

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.
