Answer 3

Imagine a desolate hungry poor child weeping to sleep, with no one there to give comfort and solace. That is when conscientious minds think about how needed angels are to comfort desperate minds in their loneliness. When man turns his face away from another man's sufferings, mankind wishes there be angels and gods to soothe pain and alleviate sufferings. A strong conviction that they are there is the only hope man has in this world. This hope is well reinforced in William Blake's poems. This particular question of belief in angels has been well elaborated by William Blake in his poem The Night, in which he has skilfully drawn a picture of angels visiting the homes of tiny little babies in silent nights, to see whether they are sleeping well and happy, a thing mankind won't care to do.
