More quotes by William Blake
But when he has done this, let him not say that he knows better than his master, for he only holds a candle in sunshine.
William Blake
He who replies to words of doubt doth put the light of knowledge out.
William Blake
Mercy, Pity, Peace Is the world's release.
William Blake
I must create a system or be enslaved by another mans I will not reason and compare: my business is to create.
William Blake
The Sick Rose O Rose, thou art sick. The invisible worm That flies in the night In the howling storm Has found out thy bed Of crimson joy, And his dark secret love Does thy life destroy.
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
What is the price of experience? Do men buy it for a song? Or wisdom for a dance in the street? No, it is bought with the price of all the man hath, his house, his wife, his children.
William Blake
To the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.
William Blake
Mercy is the golden chain by which society is bound together.
William Blake
I asked a thief to steal me a peach: He turned up his eyes. I asked a lithe lady to lie her down: Holy and meek, she cries. As soon as I went An angel came. He winked at the thief And smiled at the dame- And without one word spoke Had a peach from the tree, And 'twixt earnest and joke Enjoyed the lady.
William Blake
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
Imagination is the real and eternal world of which this vegetable universe is but a faint shadow.
William Blake
As we are, so we see.
William Blake
And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds and binding with briars my joys and desires. (from 'The Garden of Love')
William Blake
Thinking as I do that the Creator of this world is a very cruel being, and being a worshipper of Christ, I cannot help saying: ''the Son, O how unlike the Father!'' First God Almighty comes with a thump on the head. Then Jesus Christ comes with a balm to heal it.
William Blake
The pride of the peacock is the glory of God.
William Blake
Poetry fettered fetters the human race.
William Blake
Every wolf's and lion's howl Raises from Hell a human soul.
William Blake
Error is created truth is eternal.
William Blake
Art is the tree of life. Science is the tree of death.
William Blake
