THE GATES OF PARADISE. 227 THE GATES OF PARADISE. TV/T UTUAL forgiveness of each vice, *** Such are the Gates of Paradise, Against the Accuser's chief desire, Who walked among the stones of fire. Jehovah's ringers wrote the Law : He wept ; then rose in zeal and awe, And, in the midst of Sinai's heat, Hid it beneath His Mercy-Seat. O Christians ! Christians ! tell me why You rear it on your altars high ! THE KEYS OF THE GATES. THE caterpillar on the leaf Reminds thee of thy mother's grief. My Et...ernal Man set in repose, The Female from his darkness rose ; And she found me beneath a tree, A mandrake, and in her veil hid me. Serpent reasonings us entice Of good and evil, virtue, vice. 228 BLAKE'S POEMS.
