Summary
William Blake, Pity. 1795. Tate Gallery.
The work illustrates two similes in lines from Shakespeare's Macbeth (1:21–23):
- And pity, like a naked new-born babe,
- Striding the blast, or heaven's cherubim, hors'd
- Upon the sightless couriers of the air.
- Striding the blast, or heaven's cherubim, hors'd
