Red Dragon

One can only see what one observes, and one observes only things which are already in the mind.

– ALPHONSE BERTILLON

… For Mercy has a human heart,

Pity a human face,

And Love, the human form divine,

And Peace, the human dress.

WILLIAM BLAKE, Songs of Innocence

(The 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.

WILLIAM BLAKE, Songs of Experience

(A Divine Image)
