Houses of Commons and Houses of Lords appear to me to be fools they seem to me to be something else besides human life.
William Blake

William Blake
Seek Love in the pity of others' woe,In the gentle relief of another's care,In the darkness of night and the winter's snow,In the naked and outcast, seek Love there
