The Book of Job: Pl. 9, Then a Spirit passed before my face / the hair of my flesh stood up

William Blake

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white illustration on aged paper. A central rectangular panel depicts a scene. In the center stands a tall figure in a long robe surrounded by a halo; wings extend from its back. The figure gazes to the right at another figure on a cloud. Below, four men with beards and robes look up. Text surrounds the panel: at the top, a quote curves along the upper border; on the right and left sides, additional text runs vertically; at the bottom, a line of text reads, "Then a Spirit passed before my face / the hair of my flesh stood up". The background has a border resembling tree roots.
