More quotes by William Blake
The stars are threshed, and the souls are threshed from their husks.
William Blake
Embraces are comminglings from the head even to the feet, And not a pompous high priest entering by a secret place.
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
Works of Art can only be produc'd in Perfection where the Man is either in Affluence or is Above the Care of it.
William Blake
What is grand is necessarily obscure to weak men. That which can be made explicit to the idiot is not worth my care.
William Blake
Time is the mercy of Eternity without Time's swiftness Which is the swiftest of all things, all were eternal torment.
William Blake
Shame is pride's cloak.
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
Do what you will this life's a fiction, And is made up of contradiction.
William Blake
Love is weak when there is more doubt than there is trust, but love is most strong when you learn to trust even with all the doubts. If a thing loves, it is infinite.
William Blake
General good is the plea of the scoundrel, hypocite, flatterer.
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
All futurity seems teeming with endless destruction never to be repelled Desperate remorse swallows the present in a quenchless rage.
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
Can I see a falling tear, And not feel my sorrow's share?
William Blake
The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.
William Blake
On no other ground Can I sow my seed Without tearing up Some stinking weed.
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
Want of money and the distress of a thief can never be alleged as the cause of his thieving, for many honest people endure greater hardships with fortitude. We must therefore seek the cause elsewhere than in want of money, for that is the miser's passion, not the thief s.
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
