More quotes by William Blake
They who forgive most shall be most forgiven.
William Blake
[L]et light Rise from the chambers of the east, and bring The honey'd dew that cometh on waking day. O radiant morning.
William Blake
The hand of Vengeance found the Bed To which the Purple Tyrant fled The iron hand crush'd the tyrant's head And became Tyrant in his stead.
William Blake
Life delights in life.
William Blake
The gulfing whale was like a dot in the spell. Yet look upon it, and 'twould size and swell To its huge self, and the minutest fish Would pass the very hardest gazer's wish, And show his little eye's anatomy.
William Blake
I must create a system, or be enslav'd by another man's.
William Blake
My mother bore me in the southern wild, And I am black, but O! my soul is white White as an angel is the English child, But I am black as if bereaved of light.
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
Down the winding cavern we groped our tedious way, till a void boundless as the nether sky appeared beneath us, and we held by the roots of trees and hung over this immensity but I said: if you please we will commit ourselves to this void and see whether providence is here also.
William Blake
Reason, or the ratio of all we have already known, is not the same that it shall be when we know more.
William Blake
The look of love alarms Because 'tis filled with fire But the look of soft deceit Shall win the lover's hire.
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
Demonstration, similitude & harmony are objects of reasoning. Invention, identity & melody are objects of intuition.
William Blake
I will not cease from mental fight Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand.
William Blake
My silks and fine array, My smiles and languished air, By love are driv'n away And mournful lean Despair Brings me yew to deck my grave: Such end true lovers have.
William Blake
If you have form'd a circle to go into, Go into it yourself, and see how you would do. They said this mystery never shall cease: The priest promotes war, and the soldier peace.
William Blake
Wisdom is sold in a desolate marketplace where none can come to buy.
William Blake
I have conversed with the spiritual Sun. I saw him on Primrose Hill
William Blake
Better to shun the bait than struggle in the snare.
William Blake
The nakedness of woman is the work of God.
William Blake
