Struggling in my father's hands, Striving against my swaddling bands, Bound and weary, I thought best To sulk upon my mother's breast.
William Blake

William Blake
Image
Some are born to sweet delight, Some are born to endless night.
William Blake
Image
There is a smile of love, And there is a smile of deceit, And there is a smile of smiles In which these two smiles meet.
William Blake
Image
I care not whether a man is good or evil all that I care / Is whether he is a wise man or a fool. Go! put off holiness, / And put on intellect.
William Blake
Image
Everything is beautiful in its own way. Exuberance is beauty.
William Blake
Image
The fox provides for himself, but God provides for the lion.
William Blake
Image
Truth can never be told so as to be understood and not be believed.
William Blake
Image
I will not cease from mental fight Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand.
William Blake
Image
Abstinence sows sand all over The ruddy limbs and flaming hair, But desire gratified Plants fruits of life and beauty there.
William Blake
Image
We are led to believe a lie When we see not through the eye.
