For Mercy has a human heart Pity, a human face: And Love, the human form divine, And Peace, the human dress.

Image
That the Jews assumed a right exclusively to the benefits of God will be a lasting witness against them and the same will it be against Christians.
William Blake
Image
A dog starv'd at the master's gate Predicts the ruin of the State. A horse misus'd upon the road Calls to heaven for human blood. Each outcry of the hunted hare A fibre from the brain does tear, A skylark wounded on the wing, A cherubim does cease to sing.
William Blake
Image
What seems to be, is, to those to whom it seems to be, and is productive of the most dreadful consequences to those to whom it seems to be, even of torments, despair, eternal death.
William Blake
Image
How have you left the ancient love That bards of old enjoyed in you! The languid strings do scarcely move! The sound is forced, the notes are few!
William Blake
Image
Can I see another's woe, And not be in sorrow too? Can I see another's grief, And not seek for kind relief? Can I see a falling tear, And not feel my sorrow's share? Can a father see his child Weep, nor be with sorrow filled? Can a mother sit and hear An infant groan, an infant fear? No, no! never can it be! Never, never can it be!
William Blake
Image
Mere enthusiasm is the all in all... / Passion and expression are beauty itself.
William Blake
Image
As we are, so we see.
William Blake
Image
If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thru chinks of his cavern.
William Blake
Image
He who loves his enemies betrays his friends this surely is not what Jesus meant.
William Blake
Image
The naked women's body is a portion of eternity too great for the eye of man.
William Blake
Image
Lives in eternity's sun rise.
William Blake

The busy bee has no time for sorrow.
William Blake

Mercy is the golden chain by which society is bound together.
William Blake
Image
Every mortal loss is an immortal gain.
William Blake
Image
In the universe, there are things that are known, and things that are unknown, and in between, there are doors.
William Blake
Image
It is not because angels are holier than men or devils that makes them angels, but because they do not expect holiness from one another, but from God only.
William Blake
Image
I must create a system, or be enslav'd by another man's.
William Blake
Image
The true method of knowledge is experiment.
William Blake
Image
Rhetoric completes the tools of learning. Dialectic zeros in on the logic of things, of particular systems of thought or subjects. Rhetoric takes the next grand step and brings all these subjects together into one whole.
William Blake
Image
Since the French Revolution Englishmen are all intermeasurable one by another, certainly a happy state of agreement to which I forone do not agree.
