What 'God' ? …

What God …?

What God is he, writes laws of peace, & clothes him in a tempest What pitying Angel lusts for tears, and fans himself with sighs What crawling villain preaches abstinence & wraps himself In fat of lambs? no more I follow, no more obedience pay!


William Blake in “America: A Prophecy” (1793). Spoken by “Boston’s Angel”.
