William Blake
The glory of Christianity is to conquer by forgiveness.
William Blake
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
William Blake
Mysteries are not to be solved. They eye goes blind when it only wants to see why.
William Blake
I must create a system, or be enslav'd by another man's.
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
To be an Error and to be Cast out is a part of God's Design.
William Blake
Nothing is real beyond imaginative patterns men make of reality.
William Blake
Without minute neatness of execution, the sublime cannot exist! Grandeur of ideas is founded on precision of ideas.
William Blake
The ruins of time build mansions in eternity.
William Blake
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty !
William Blake
The apple tree never asks the beech how he shall grow, nor the lion, the horse, how he shall take his prey.
William Blake
Why cannot the ear be closed to its own destruction? Or the glistening eye to the poison of a smile?
William Blake
Where mercy, love, and pity dwell, there God is dwelling too.
William Blake
Sooner strangle an infant in its cradle than nurse unacted desires.
William Blake
The busy bee has no time for sorrow.
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
Since the French Revolution Englishmen are all intermeasurable one by another, certainly a happy state of agreement to which I forone do not agree.
William Blake
The pride of the peacock is the glory of God. The lust of the goat is the bounty of God. The wrath of the lion is the wisdom of God. The nakedness of woman is the work of God.
William Blake
We are here to learn to endure the beams of love
William Blake
