Image
Embraces are comminglings from the head even to the feet, And not a pompous high priest entering by a secret place.
William Blake
Image
Bring me an axe and spade, Bring me a winding-sheet When I my grave have made Let winds and tempests beat: Then down I'll lie as cold as clay. True love doth pass away!
William Blake

Wisdom is sold in a desolate marketplace where none can come to buy.
William Blake
Image
What is grand is necessarily obscure to weak men. That which can be made explicit to the idiot is not worth my care.
William Blake
Image
The Woman that does not love your Frowns Will never embrace your smiles.
William Blake
Image
He loves to sit and hear me sing, Then, laughing, sports and plays with me Then stretches out my golden wing, And mocks my loss of liberty.
William Blake
Image
Pay attention to minute particulars. Take care of the little ones. Generalization and abstraction are the plea of the hypocrite, scoundrel, and knave.
William Blake
Image
As we are, so we see.
William Blake
Image
One Power alone makes a Poet: Imagination. The Divine Vision.
William Blake
Image
If you, who are organised by Divine Providence for spiritual communion, refuse, and bury your talent in the earth, even though you should want natural bread, sorrow and desperation pursue you through life, and after death shame and confusion of face to eternity.
William Blake
