Based on its title, it appears that this was meant to be the counterpart to ‘The Divine Image’ in Innocence. However, its replacement, ‘The Human Abstract,’ is much more similar in terms of structure and theme to ‘The Divine Image’ and explores “Pity” and “Mercy” in an opposing way to ‘A Divine Image.’ The savagery of ‘A Divine Image’ may have been too strong for Songs of Innocence and Experience and this might be why it was abandoned.
