More quotes by William Blake
O thou who passest through our valleys in Thy strength, curb thy fierce steeds, allay the heat That flames from their large nostrils! Thou, O Summer, Oft pitchest here thy golden tent, and oft Beneath our oaks hast slept, while we beheld With joy thy ruddy limbs and flourishing hair.
William Blake
Can I see another's woe, and not be in sorrow too? Can I see another's grief, and not seek for kind relief?
William Blake
For the Eye altering alters all The Senses roll themselves in fear And the flat Earth becomes a Ball.
William Blake
If the Sun and Moon should ever doubt, they'd immediately go out.
William Blake
'Come hither, my boy, tell me what thou seest there?' 'A fool tangled in a religious snare.'
William Blake
He who has suffered you to impose on him knows you.
William Blake
If you trap the moment before it's ripe, The tears of repentence you'll certainly wipe But if once you let the ripe moment go You can never wipe off the tears of woe.
William Blake
A good local pub has much in common with a church, except that a pub is warmer, and there's more conversation.
William Blake
A dog starv'd at the master's gate Predicts the ruin of the State. A horse misus'd upon the road Calls to heaven for human blood. Each outcry of the hunted hare A fibre from the brain does tear, A skylark wounded on the wing, A cherubim does cease to sing.
William Blake
The pride of the peacock is the glory of God. The lust of the goat is the bounty of God. The wrath of the lion is the wisdom of God. The nakedness of woman is the work of God.
William Blake
As we are, so we see.
William Blake
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
William Blake
I was in a Printing-house in Hell, and saw the method in which knowledge is transmitted from generation to generation.
William Blake
A DIVINE IMAGE Cruelty has a human heart, And Jealousy a human face Terror the human form divine, And Secresy the human dress. The human dress is forged iron, The human form a fiery forge, The human face a furnace sealed, The human heart its hungry gorge.
William Blake
The lust of the goat is the bounty of God.
William Blake
My silks and fine array, My smiles and languished air, By love are driv'n away And mournful lean Despair Brings me yew to deck my grave: Such end true lovers have.
William Blake
He who wants, but doesn't act, is a pest.
William Blake
All the destruction in Christian Europe has arisen from deism, which is natural religion.
William Blake
The moon, like a flower in heaven's high bower, with silent delight sits and smiles on the night.
William Blake
Where any view of money exists, art cannot be carried on.
William Blake
