Español: Canto V, verso 43 - grabado de Blake según Flaxman

Un grabado muestra a una mujer con gorro de dormir blanco y bata holgada, sentada en el borde de una cama y mirando hacia abajo, hacia una sábana. Amplias cortinas oscuras se arremolinan en primer plano, y una forma con aspecto de plumas se alza sobre ellas contra un fondo sombrío.

Português: Canto V, verso 43 - gravura de Blake após Flaxman

Uma gravura mostra uma mulher com touca de dormir branca e roupão solto, sentada na beira de uma cama e olhando para baixo, em direção a um lençol. Grandes cortinas escuras redemoinham em primeiro plano, e uma forma semelhante a plumas se ergue acima delas contra um fundo sombrio.
