“For Mercy has a human heartPity, a human face:And Love, the human form divine,And Peace, the human dress.”

“Cruelty has a human heart,And Jealousy a human face;Terror the human form divine,And Secresy the human dress.The human dress is forged iron,The human form a fiery forge,The human face a furnace sealed,The human heart its hungry gorge.- "A DIVINE IMAGE”

“Without contraries is no progression. Attraction and repulsion, reason and energy, love and hate, are necessary to human existence.”

“The imagination is not a state: it is the human existence itself.”

“thus men forgot that all deities reside in the human breast.”

“A Robin Redbreast in a CagePuts all Heaven in a Rage.A dove house fill’d with doves and pigeonsShudders Hell thro’ all its regions.A Dog starv’d at his Master’s GatePredicts the ruin of the State.A Horse misus’d upon the RoadCalls to Heaven for Human blood.Each outcry of the hunted HareA fiber from the Brain does tear.”

“Mercy is the golden chain by which society is bound together.”
