Description:
|
Verses from Night the Second. Illustration: Belshazzar terrified in the midst of his impious debauch by the hand-writing on the wall. The passage marked out by the asterisk, sufficiently explains the propriety with which the story is alluded to by the poet, and delineated by the artist. The engraving has been hand coloured by William Blake.
