More quotes by William Blake
Bring me an axe and spade, Bring me a winding-sheet When I my grave have made Let winds and tempests beat: Then down I'll lie as cold as clay. True love doth pass away!
William Blake
She who dwells with me whom I have loved with such communion, that no place on earth can ever be solitude to me.
William Blake
Then the Parson might preach, & drink, & sing, And we'd be as happy as birds in the spring And modest dame Lurch, who is always at Church, Would not have bandy children, nor fasting, nor birch.
William Blake
What is grand is necessarily obscure to weak men. That which can be made explicit to the idiot is not worth my care.
William Blake
And we are put on earth a little space, That we may learn to bear the beams of love.
William Blake
Dip him in the river who loves water.
William Blake
Mere enthusiasm is the all in all.
William Blake
Drive your cart and plow over the bones of the dead.
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
A robin redbreast in a cage Puts all heaven in a rage.
William Blake
The weak in courage is strong in cunning.
William Blake
What has reason to do with the art of painting?
William Blake
Sweet babe, in thy face Soft desires I can trace, Secret joys and secret smiles, Little pretty infant wiles.
William Blake
Energy is an eternal delight.
William Blake
He who would do good to another must do it in minute particulars.
William Blake
The little ones leaped, and shouted, and laugh'd And all the hills echoed
William Blake
And I watered it in fears, Night and morning with my tears And I sunned it with smiles, And with soft deceitful wiles.
William Blake
I am going to that country which I have all my life wished to see.
William Blake
Those who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained and the restrainer or reason usurps its place & governs the unwilling. And being restrain'd it by degrees becomes passive till it is only the shadow of desire.
William Blake
Expect poison from the standing water.
William Blake
