William Blake's Devine Image

William Blake’s “The Divine Image” reveals how he sees God in our world. In the poem, Blake express man prays when he/she is in distress or in need of something. There are four words Blake makes huge emphases on. Mercy, pity, peace, and love are all words God says we should live with. Then Blake makes these words as a human that we pray to. When you pray to this human of the four words, these words and God will live permanently in your life.

To Mercy, Pity, Peace and Love (alliteration) (repetition)
All pray in their distress; (end rhyme)
And to these virtues of delight
Return their thankfulness. (end rhyme)

For Mercy, Pity, Peace and Love (alliteration) (repetition)
Is God, our Father dear,
And Mercy, Pity, Peace and Love is man, (alliteration) (repetition)
His child and care. (consonance)

For Mercy has a human heart,
Pity a human face, (personification)
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 human form divine,
Love, Mercy, Pity and Peace. (stanza)

And all must love the human form,
In heathen, Turk or Jew;
Where Mercy, Love, and Pity dwell
There God is dwelling too.
