More quotes by William Blake
I cry, Love! Love! Love! happy happy Love! free as the mountain wind!
William Blake
Art degraded, Imagination denied.
William Blake
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
Fun I love, but too much fun is of all things the most loathsome. Mirth is better than fun, and happiness is better than mirth.
William Blake
Innocence dwells with Wisdom, but never with ignorance.
William Blake
When the voices of children are heard on the greenAnd laughing is heard on the hill,My heart is at rest within my breastAnd everything else is still.
William Blake
Knowledge of ideal beauty is not to be acquired. It is born with us. Innate ideas are in every man, born with him theyare truly himself.
William Blake
He who has suffered you to impose on him knows you.
William Blake
The lust of the goat is the bounty of God.
William Blake
Praises reap not! Joys laugh not! Sorrows weep not!
William Blake
Pity would be no more, If we did not make somebody poor. Mercy no more could be, If all were happy as we.
William Blake
Mere enthusiasm is the all in all.
William Blake
The human mind cannot go beyond the gift of God, the Holy Ghost. To suppose that art can go beyond the finest specimens of art that are now in the world is not knowing what art is it is being blind to the gifts of the spirit.
William Blake
thus men forgot that all deities reside in the human breast.
William Blake
Invention depends altogether upon execution or organization as that is right or wrong so is the invention perfect or imperfect.
William Blake
General knowledges are those knowledges that idiots possess.
William Blake
Imagination is the real and eternal world of which this vegetable universe is but a faint shadow.
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 nakedness of woman is the work of God.
William Blake
LOVE'S SECRET Never seek to tell thy love, Love that never told can be For the gentle wind doth move Silently, invisibly. I told my love, I told my love, I told her all my heart, Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears. Ah! she did depart! Soon after she was gone from me, A traveller came by, Silently, invisibly: He took her with a sigh.
William Blake
