The Book of Job: Pl. 11, With Dreams upon my bed thou scarest me and affrightest me / with Visions

William Blake

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white illustration of a man lying on a bed, surrounded by demons. The man is lying on his side with his right hand raised to his face. He has long hair. Several demons are gathered around the bed. Some have wings, and some have serpentine features. The illustration is surrounded by a border with wavy lines. There are several lines of text on the page, written in a curved line above and below the illustration. The text is in an old-fashioned font and appears to be a passage from the Book of Job. The background of the page is off-white with darker shading around the edges.
