More quotes by William Blake
How can a bird that is born for joy Sit in a cage and sing?
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
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
I have conversed with the spiritual Sun. I saw him on Primrose Hill
William Blake
A DIVINE IMAGE Cruelty has a human heart, And Jealousy a human face Terror the human form divine, And Secresy the human dress. The human dress is forged iron, The human form a fiery forge, The human face a furnace sealed, The human heart its hungry gorge.
William Blake
Bring me an axe and spade, Bring me a winding-sheet When I my grave have made Let winds and tempests beat: Then down I'll lie as cold as clay. True love doth pass away!
William Blake
The fool who persists in his folly will become wise.
William Blake
If a thing loves, it is infinite.
William Blake
Sweet babe, in thy face Soft desires I can trace, Secret joys and secret smiles, Little pretty infant wiles.
William Blake
Such, such were the joys When we all, girls and boys, In our youth time were seen On the Echoing Green.
William Blake
Lives in eternity's sun rise.
William Blake
He who shall teach the child to doubtThe rotting grave shall ne'er get out.
William Blake
Everything to be imagined is an image of truth.
William Blake
Man has no Body distinct from his Soul for that called Body is a portion of Soul discerned by the five Senses, the chief inlets of Soul in this age.
William Blake
Mercy, Pity, Peace Is the world's release.
William Blake
Auguries of innocence The emmet's inch and eagle's mile Make lame philosophy to smile. He who doubts from what he sees Will ne'er believe, do what you please.
William Blake
The eye altering, alters all.
William Blake
Art degraded, Imagination denied.
William Blake
As a man is, so he sees.
William Blake
For Mercy has a human heart Pity, a human face: And Love, the human form divine, And Peace, the human dress.
William Blake
