"Earth's Answer" is a hand-colored relief etching by William Blake from his illustrated book *Songs of Experience*, created between 1794 and 1825. The illustration depicts a poem in Blake's characteristically swirling script, contained within a decorative frame of stylized foliage. The artwork is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and exemplifies Blake's visionary style, combining text and image to create a powerful and symbolic work of art.
