A Visit with Mr. Blake
William Blake across from me sits here insisting on whatever it is he insists on and a great red cape opens up to show…
What are feet for
but to go around the Ka’ba?
What are eyes for
but to look upon God’s House?
What are lips for
but to kiss the Black Stone?
What are hands for
but to supplicate our Lord?
What’s the heart for
but to open to His Light?
