More quotes by 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
A robin redbreast in a cage Puts all heaven in a rage.
William Blake
When thou seest an eagle, thou seest a portion of genius lift up thy head!
William Blake
I asked a thief to steal me a peach: He turned up his eyes. I asked a lithe lady to lie her down: Holy and meek, she cries. As soon as I went An angel came. He winked at the thief And smiled at the dame- And without one word spoke Had a peach from the tree, And 'twixt earnest and joke Enjoyed the lady.
William Blake
The imagination is not a state: it is the human existence itself.
William Blake
If the lion was advised by the fox, he would be cunning.
William Blake
Never seek to tell thy love Love that never told can be. For the gentle wind does move silently.. invisibly.
William Blake
The generations of men run on in the tide of time, but leave their destined lineaments permanent for ever and ever.
William Blake
A skylark wounded in the wing, / A cherubim does cease to sing.
William Blake
Thou fair-hair'd angel of the evening, Now, whilst the sun rests on the mountains, light Thy bright torch of love thy radiant crown Put on, and smile upon our evening bed!
William Blake
He who pretends to be either painter or engraver without being a master of drawing is an imposter.
William Blake
Where mercy, love, and pity dwell, there God is dwelling too.
William Blake
The grave is Heaven's golden gate, And rich and poor around it wait O Shepherdess of England's fold, Behold this gate of pearl and gold!
William Blake
We are not meant to resolve all contradictions but to live with them and rise above them.
William Blake
A DIVINE IMAGE Cruelty has a human heart, And Jealousy a human face Terror the human form divine, And Secresy the human dress. The human dress is forged iron, The human form a fiery forge, The human face a furnace sealed, The human heart its hungry gorge.
William Blake
Great things are done when men and mountains meet.
William Blake
Exuberance is beauty.
William Blake
The soul of sweet delight, can never be defiled.
William Blake
One law for the lion and ox is oppression.
William Blake
Mysteries are not to be solved. They eye goes blind when it only wants to see why.
William Blake
