Art is the tree of life. Science is the tree of death.
William Blake

Works of Art can only be produc'd in Perfection where the Man is either in Affluence or is Above the Care of it.
William Blake
Image
Poetry fettered, fetters the human race. Nations are destroyed or flourish in proportion as their poetry, painting, and music are destroyed or flourish.
William Blake
Image
To see a world in a grain of sand And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour.
William Blake
