The Human Abstract

by William Blake



Pity would be no more

If we did not make somebody poor,

And Mercy no more could be

If all were as happy as we.



And mutual fear brings Peace,

Till the selfish loves increase;

Then Cruelty knits a snare,

And spreads his baits with care.



He sits down with holy fears,

And waters the ground with tears;

Then Humility takes its root

Underneath his foot.



Soon spreads the dismal shade

Of Mystery over his head,

And the caterpillar and fly

Feed on the Mystery.



And it bears the fruit of Deceit,

Ruddy and sweet to eat,

And the raven his nest has made

In its thickest shade.



The gods of the earth and sea

Sought through nature to find this tree,

But their search was all in vain:

There grows one in the human Brain.

Read the excerpt from "Bone Detective," by Lorraine Jean Hopping.


At her lab she mixed the alginate powder with water to form a paste. Standing in front of a mirror, she scooped up a blob and spread it on her tongue. She pressed it down with her fingers to get out any air bubbles. Not bad, she thought. Tastes just like spearmint. She decided to make an extra-thick mold to make it easier to peel off. So, she added another gloopy blog—and another.


With her thickened tongue hanging out, Diane padded around the lab doing odds and ends while the material set. After about 10 minutes, she peeled off the alginate slowly and carefully. It was fragile—bendable and easy to tear—but it made an excellent impression of her tongue.


Which statement best describes Hopping’s viewpoint and purpose in this excerpt?
