Ah, sunflower, weary of time, Who countest the steps of the sun, Seeking after that sweet golden clime Where the traveller's journey is done Where the youth pined away with desire And the pale virgin shrouded in snow Arise from their graves, and aspire Where my sunflower wishes to go.
William Blake

William Blake
Hindsight is a wonderful thing but foresight is better, especially when it comes to saving life, or some pain!
William Blake

William Blake
The pride of the peacock is the glory of God.
William Blake
Every thing possible to be believ'd is an image of truth.
William Blake
