Well, that's hard to top. So, “God” is a badass. This kind of verse is what makes Blake one of my favorites. Chills the spine. Lets see what the crusty old German has up his sleeve.
I Love this white and slender body,
These limbs that answer Love's caresses,
Passionate eyes, and forehead covered
With heavy waves of thick, black tresses.
You are the very one I've searched for
In many lands, in every weather.
You are my sort; you understand me;
As equals we can talk together.
In me you've found the man you care for.
And, for a while, you'll richly pay me
With kindness, kisses and endearments--
And then, as usual, you'll betray me.
Bam. He gets you at the end. Ouch! That’s cynical. But we have all been there, so many the times…
