William Blake
A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent.
William Blake
The Vision of Christ that thou dost see, Is my vision's greatest enemy. Thine is the Friend of all Mankind, Mine speaks in Parables to the blind. Thine loves the same world that mine hates, Thy heaven-doors are my hell gates.
William Blake
Although wine when it is read somewhat lacks the savour of wine when it is drunk, wine remains a very pleasant thing both to read about and to chat about.
William Blake
Can I see a falling tear, And not feel my sorrow's share?
William Blake
Jesus & his apostles & disciples were all artists
William Blake
On no other ground Can I sow my seed Without tearing up Some stinking weed.
William Blake
Mercy, Pity, Peace Is the world's release.
William Blake
The grave is Heaven's golden gate, And rich and poor around it wait O Shepherdess of England's fold, Behold this gate of pearl and gold!
William Blake
Let every Christian, as much as in him lies, engage himself openly and publicly, before all the World, in some mental pursuit for the Building up of Jerusalem.
William Blake
O why was I born with a different face? Why was I not born like the rest of my race?
William Blake
It is an easy thing to talk of patience to the afflicted.
William Blake
The roaring of lions, the howling of wolves, the raging of the stormy sea, and the destructive sword, are portions of eternity, too great for the eye of man.
William Blake
Degrade first the Arts if you'd Mankind Degrade. Hire Idiots to Paint with cold light & hot shade: Give high Price for the worst, leave the best in disgrace, And with Labours of Ignorance fill every place.
William Blake
