Web

The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship.

~ William Blake

I'm not sure I agree with William Blake's comparisons above.  I think the point he is trying to make is that a nest is a place of safety and a home to a bird and a web is the same to a spider and friendship is the same to human beings.

But a nest is a home whereas a web is s trap.  And no one ever trapped someone into a relationship and then tried to keep them there and suck their blood out of them.

William Blake was a vampire.
