More quotes by William Blake
For all eternity, I forgive you and you forgive me.
William Blake
Nothing is real beyond imaginative patterns men make of reality.
William Blake
The eye sees more than the heart knows.
William Blake
But if at church they would give some ale. And a pleasant fire our souls to regale. We'd sing and we'd pray all the live long day, Nor ever once from the church to stray.
William Blake
Without minute neatness of execution, the sublime cannot exist! Grandeur of ideas is founded on precision of ideas.
William Blake
Embraces are comminglings from the head even to the feet, And not a pompous high priest entering by a secret place.
William Blake
Thou art a man God is no more Thy own humanity Learn to adore
William Blake
If you cannot imagine with the mind's eye much more than you can see with the mortal eye, you have a very poor imagination indeed.
William Blake
Man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.
William Blake
The lust of the goat is the bounty of God.
William Blake
Every wolf's and lion's howl Raises from Hell a human soul.

England! awake! awake! awake! Jerusalem thy sister calls! Why wilt thou sleep the sleep of death And close her from thy ancient walls?
William Blake
The true method of knowledge is experiment.
William Blake
He who would do good to another must do it in Minute Particulars: general Good is the plea of the scoundrel, hypocrite, and flatterer, for Art and Science cannot exist but in minutely organized Particulars.
William Blake
The hours of folly are measured by the clock but of wisdom, no clock can measure.
William Blake
Do what you will this life's a fiction, And is made up of contradiction.
William Blake
The world of imagination is the world of eternity. It is the divine bosom into which we shall all go after death of the vegetative body.
William Blake
Without contraries is no progression. Attraction and repulsion, reason and energy, love and hate, are necessary to human existence.
William Blake
To the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.
William Blake
Those who restrain their desires, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained.
William Blake
