More quotes by William Blake

William Blake

William Blake

William Blake
I am in you and you in me, mutual in divine love.

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
Both read the Bible day and night, but thou read black where I read white.
William Blake
Demonstration, similitude & harmony are objects of reasoning. Invention, identity & melody are objects of intuition.
William Blake
A robin redbreast in a cage Puts all heaven in a rage.
William Blake
To be an Error and to be Cast out is a part of God's Design.
William Blake
Degrade first the Arts if you'd Mankind Degrade. Hire Idiots to Paint with cold light & hot shade: Give high Price for the worst, leave the best in disgrace, And with Labours of Ignorance fill every place.
William Blake
