More quotes by William Blake
She who dwells with me whom I have loved with such communion, that no place on earth can ever be solitude to me.
William Blake
A dog starved at his master's gate Predicts the ruin of the state.
William Blake
Love seeketh only self to please, To bind another to its delight, Joys in another's loss of ease, And builds a Hell in Heaven's despite.
William Blake
The nakedness of woman is the work of God.
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
You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough.
William Blake
The fox provides for himself, but God provides for the lion.
William Blake
There is a place where Contrarieties are equally True.
William Blake
[L]et light Rise from the chambers of the east, and bring The honey'd dew that cometh on waking day. O radiant morning.
William Blake
The Woman that does not love your Frowns Will never embrace your smiles.
William Blake
The pride of the peacock is the glory of God. The lust of the goat is the bounty of God. The wrath of the lion is the wisdom of God. The nakedness of woman is the work of God.
William Blake
Mysteries are not to be solved. They eye goes blind when it only wants to see why.
William Blake
The hand of Vengeance found the Bed To which the Purple Tyrant fled The iron hand crush'd the tyrant's head And became Tyrant in his stead.
William Blake
Come o'er the eastern hills, and let our winds Kiss thy perfumed garments let us taste Thy morn and evening breath scatter thy pearls Upon our love-sick land that mourns for thee.
William Blake
He who doubts from what he sees Will ne'er believe, do what you please.
William Blake
Little fly, thy summer's play My thoughtless hand has brushed away. Am not I a fly like thee? Or art not thou a man like me? For I dance and drink and sing, Till some blind hand shall brush my wing!
William Blake
Love seeketh not itself to please, nor for itself hath any care, but for another gives its ease, and builds a Heaven in Hell's despair.
William Blake
He who desires, but acts not, breeds pestilence.
William Blake
As the caterpillar chooses the fairest leaves to lay her eggs on, so the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys.
William Blake
He who has suffered you to impose on him knows you.
William Blake
