Title: William Blake, Pity
1William Blake, Pity
And Pity, like a naked new-born babe, / Striding
the blast, or heav'n's cherubim hors'd / Upon the
sightless couriers of the air

6Henry Fuseli, Macbeth, Banquo and the Witches on
the Heath (1793-4)
What are these,So wither'd and so wild in their
attire,That look not like th' inhabitants o' the
earth,And yet are on't? Live you? or are you
aughtThat man may question? You seem to
understand me,By each at once her choppy finger
layingUpon her skinny lips you should be
women,And yet your beards forbid me to
interpretThat you are so.
