How can the bird that is born for joy Sit in a cage and sing? How can a child, when fears annoy, But droop his tender wing, And forget his youthful spring?
William Blake

Down the winding cavern we groped our tedious way, till a void boundless as the nether sky appeared beneath us, and we held by the roots of trees and hung over this immensity but I said: if you please we will commit ourselves to this void and see whether providence is here also.
William Blake
Image

William Blake
Image
Each man is haunted until his humanity awakens.
William Blake

William Blake
Image
Where mercy, love, and pity dwell, there God is dwelling too.

You've always had the power right there in your shoes, you just had to learn it for yourself.
William Blake
Image
Prisons are built with stones of Law. Brothels with the bricks of religion.
William Blake
Image
The strongest poison ever known came from Caesar's laurel crown.
William Blake
Image
The Woman that does not love your Frowns Will never embrace your smiles.
William Blake
Image
A good local pub has much in common with a church, except that a pub is warmer, and there's more conversation.
William Blake
Image
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
