[00:02.780]The Human Abstract by William Blake
[00:10.460]Pity would be no more,
[00:15.290]If we did not make somebody Poor;
[00:20.200]And Mercy no more could be.
[00:25.240]If all were as happy as we;
[00:32.900]And mutual fear brings peace;
[00:37.490]Till the selfish loves increase.
[00:42.880]Then Cruelty knits a snare,
[00:48.000]And spreads his baits with care.
[00:52.720]He sits down with holy fears.
[00:58.210]And waters the ground with tears:
[01:02.890]Then Humility takes its root
[01:08.370]Underneath his foot.
[01:15.710]Soon spreads the dismal shade
[01:20.680]Of Mystery over his head;
[01:25.870]And the Caterpillar and Fly
[01:30.890]Feed on the Mystery.
[01:40.790]And it bears the fruit of Deceit.
[01:46.040]Ruddy and sweet to eat:
[01:50.740]And the Raven his nest has made
[01:56.360]In its thickest shade.
[02:21.540]The Gods of the earth and sea,
[02:25.960]Sought thro' Nature to find this Tree
[02:31.080]But their search was all in vain:
[02:36.560]There grows one in the Human Brain
[02:46.980]Pity would be no more,
[02:51.760]If we did not make somebody Poor;
[02:56.730]And Mercy no more could be.
[03:01.850]If all were as happy as we;
[03:07.330]Pity would be no more,
[03:11.960]If we did not make somebody Poor;
[03:17.000]And Mercy no more could be.
[03:22.200]If all were as happy as we;
[03:27.470]If all were as happy as we;
