More quotes by William Blake
In every cry of every man, In every infant's cry of fear, In every voice, in every ban, The mind-forg'd manacles I hear.
William Blake
The naked women's body is a portion of eternity too great for the eye of man.
William Blake
The modest Rose puts forth a thorn,The humble sheep a threat'ning horn:While the Lily white shall in love delight,Nor a thorn nor a threat stain her beauty bright.
William Blake
O Earth, O Earth, return! Arise from out the dewy grass Night is worn And the morn Rises from the slumbrous mass.
William Blake
Acts themselves alone are history, and these are neither the exclusive property of Hume, Gibbon nor Voltaire, Echard, Rapin, Plutarch, nor Herodotus. Tell me the Acts, O historian, and leave me to reason upon them as I please away with your reasoning and your rubbish. All that is not action is not worth reading.
William Blake
You throw the sand against the wind and the wind blows it back again.
William Blake
Mercy, pity, and peace, Are the world's release.
William Blake
For everything exists and not one sigh nor smile nor tear, one hair nor particle of dust, not one can pass away.
William Blake
When my mother died I was very young, And my father sold me while yet my tongue Could scarcely cry weep weep weep weep. So your chimneys I sweep, and in soot I sleep.
William Blake
How do you know but ev’ry Bird that cuts the airy way, Is an immense world of delight, clos’d by your senses five?
William Blake
Execution is the chariot of genius.
William Blake
Innocence dwells with Wisdom, but never with ignorance.
William Blake
When thou seest an eagle, thou seest a portion of genius lift up thy head!
William Blake
How can a bird that is born for joy Sit in a cage and sing?
William Blake
You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough.
William Blake
What is a wife and what is a harlot? What is a church and what is a theatre? are they two and not one? Can they exist separate? Are not religion and politics the same thing? Brotherhood is religion. O demonstrations of reason dividing families in cruelty and pride!
William Blake
Never seek to tell thy love Love that never told can be. For the gentle wind does move silently.. invisibly.
William Blake
The fields from Islington to Marybone, To Primrose Hill and Saint John's Wood, Were builded over with pillars of gold And there Jerusalem's pillars stood.
William Blake
Jesus & his apostles & disciples were all artists
William Blake
He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star.
William Blake
