‘Caged Beauty’ … Pen&Ink – WHB – 1981
FROM: ‘ Auguries of Innocence’
BY . . . William Blake
“ . . . A Robin Redbreast in a Cage
Puts all Heaven in a Rage.
A dove house fill’d with doves and pigeons
Shudders Hell thro’ all its regions.
A Dog starv’d at his Master’s Gate
Predicts the ruin of the State.
A Horse misus’d upon the Road
Calls to Heaven for Human blood.
Each outcry of the hunted Hare
A fiber from the Brain does tear . . . ”
FROM: ‘ Proverbs of Hell’
BY . . . William Blake

… All wholesome food is caught without a net or a trap
Bring out number, weight & measure in a year of dearth.
No bird soars too high, if he soars with his own wings.
A dead body revenges not injuries …
William Blake … Poet & Artist … 1757-1827

Food for thought provided by these lines Roland. I have not read a lot of Blake’s work but this has tempted me. Thank you for posting and have a good weekend.

I like Blake’s notions on treating animals properly. There is much to answer for….

Yes, Indeed, Morgan. And Blake was aware of this more than 200 years ago. In some respects, we haven’t moved far since.

Sadly we haven’t, for all our professions of being advanced.
