More quotes by William Blake
He who makes his law a curse, by his own law shall surely die.
William Blake
This life's dim windows of the soul Distorts the heavens from pole to pole And leads you to believe a lie When you see with, not through, the eye.
William Blake
The Angel that presided o'er my birth Said, 'Little creature, formed of joy and mirth, Go love without the help of any thing on earth'.
William Blake
I am under the direction of messengers from Heaven daily and nightly.
William Blake
The naked women's body is a portion of eternity too great for the eye of man.
William Blake
The generations of men run on in the tide of time, but leave their destined lineaments permanent for ever and ever.
William Blake
Bring me my bow of burning gold: Bring me my arrows of desire: Bring me my spear: O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire.
William Blake
Gratitude is heaven itself there could be no heaven without gratitude.
William Blake
But to go to school in a summer morn, O! It drives all joy away Under a cruel eye outworn, The little ones spend the day In sighing and dismay.
William Blake
The child's toys and the old man's reasons are the fruits of two seasons.
William Blake
Do what you will this life's a fiction, And is made up of contradiction.
William Blake
Where lambs have nibbled, silent moves the feet of angels bright unseen they pour blessing, and joy without ceasing, on each bud and blossom, and each sleeping bosom.
William Blake
We are not meant to resolve all contradictions but to live with them and rise above them.
William Blake
Nature in darkness groans and men are bound to sullen contemplation in the night: restless they turn on beds of sorrow in their inmost brain feeling the crushing wheels, they rise, they write the bitter words of stern philosophy and knead the bread of knowledge with tears and groans.
William Blake
Commerce is so far from being beneficial to arts, or to empire, that it is destructive of both, as all their history shows, for the above reason of individual merit being its great hatred. Empires flourish till they become commercial, and then they are scattered abroad to the four winds.
William Blake
I see through my eyes, not with them.
William Blake
Excessive sorrow laughs. Excessive joy weeps.
William Blake
I asked a thief to steal me a peach: He turned up his eyes. I asked a lithe lady to lie her down: Holy and meek, she cries. As soon as I went An angel came. He winked at the thief And smiled at the dame- And without one word spoke Had a peach from the tree, And 'twixt earnest and joke Enjoyed the lady.
William Blake
What is it men in women do require: The lineaments of gratified desire. What is it women do in men require: The lineaments of gratified desire.
William Blake
The eye sees more than the heart knows.
William Blake
