.....Puts all Heaven in a rage.
But not in this household.
Here is a robin actually nesting in a bird cage, of its own volition.
A dove house fill'd with doves and pigeons
Shudders Hell thro' all its regions,
A dog starv'd at his master's gate
Predicts the ruin of the State.
A horse misus'd upon the road
Calls to Heaven for human blood.
Each outcry of the hunted hare
A fiber from the brain does tear.
But not in this household.
Here is a robin actually nesting in a bird cage, of its own volition.
The bird found its own way into an enclosed workshed and selected the cage, high on a shelf.
It is the ultimate safe spot, free from vermin and predators of any kind; most especially, cats!
What does William Blake know?
