The Book of Job: Pl. 17, I have heard thee with the hearing of the Ear but now my Eye seeth thee

William Blake

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white illustration of a woman in a long dress standing over two men on the ground. The woman has long hair and a halo behind her head. She is reaching down to touch the head of the man on the left. The man on the left has a long beard and is sitting up with his hands raised. The man on the right is lying down, leaning on his elbow, and has his head in his hand. There are rays of light emanating from the woman. The image includes several lines of text. At the top, curved around a simple line drawing of mountains, are several lines of small text. In the center, below the image, is a line of larger text that reads "I have heard thee with the hearing of the Ear but now my Eye seeth thee". At the bottom, there is an open book with more text. The background of the image is off-white with darker spots and lines.
