The Whole Business of Man is The Arts, & All Things Common.
William Blake
How sweet I roamed from field to field, And tasted all the summer's pride, Till I the prince of love beheld, Who in the sunny beams did glide!
William Blake

William Blake
May God us keep From Single vision and Newton's sleep.
William Blake
Those who enter the gates of heaven are not beings who have no passions or who have curbed the passions, but those who have cultivated an understanding of them.
William Blake
When the stars threw down their spears, and watered heaven with their tears, did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
William Blake
He who desires, but acts not, breeds pestilence.
William Blake

William Blake
I'm sure this Jesus will not do Either for Englishman or Jew.
William Blake
The lust of the goat is the bounty of God.
William Blake
The cistern contains: The fountain overflows.
William Blake
Fun I love, but too much fun is of all things the most loathsome. Mirth is better than fun, and happiness is better than mirth.
William Blake
Some say that happiness is not good for mortals, & they ought to be answered that sorrow is not fit for immortals & is utterly useless to any one a blight never does good to a tree, & if a blight kill not a tree but it still bear fruit, let none say that the fruit was in consequence of the blight.
William Blake
The fox condemns the trap, not himself.
William Blake
Nature in darkness groans and men are bound to sullen contemplation in the night: restless they turn on beds of sorrow in their inmost brain feeling the crushing wheels, they rise, they write the bitter words of stern philosophy and knead the bread of knowledge with tears and groans.
William Blake
All wholesome food is caught without a net or trap.
William Blake
Like a fiend in a cloud, With howling woe, After night I do crowd, And with night will go I turn my back to the east, From whence comforts have increased For light doth seize my brain With frantic pain.
William Blake
The crow wished everything was black, the Owl, that everything was white.
William Blake
Always be ready to speak your mind, and a base man will avoid you.
William Blake
