from Auguries of Innocence

Each outcry of the hunted Hare
A fibre from the Brain does tear.


A Skylark wounded in the wing,
A Cherubim does cease to sing.


The wanton Boy that kills the Fly
Shall feel the Spider's enmity.


The Caterpiller on the Leaf
Repeats to thee thy Mother's grief.


The Strongest Poison ever known
Came from Caesar's Laurel Crown.

– William Blake (ca. 1800-1803)
