"The Vision of Christ that thou dost see, Is my vision's greatest enemy.
Thine is the Friend of all Mankind,
Mine speaks in Parables to the blind.
Thine loves the same world that mine hates,
Thy heaven-doors are my hell gates."
-William Blake

4. I love Blake-I have a copy of "The Divine Image" in my cubicle
"To Mercy Pity Peace and Love,
All pray in their distress:
and to these vitures of delight
Return their thankfulness.

For Mercy Pity Peace and Love
Is God our father dear:
And Mercy Pity Peace and Love
Is Man his child and care.

For Mercy has a human heart
Pity, a human face:
And Love, the human form divine,
And Peace, the human dress.

Then every man of every clime,
That prays in his distress,
Prays to the hyman form divine
Love Mercy Pity Peace.

And all must love the human form,
In heathen, turk or jew.
Where Mercy, Love & Pity dwell
There God is dwelling too."


I also like "Visions of the Daughters of Albion". They should teach it in high school, because of the way Blake uses rape as an allegory for the destruction of nature in America and the institutionalization of slavery in the Constitution.
