Lo! now the direful monster, whose skin clings To his strong bones, strides o'er the groaning rocks: He withers all in silence, and his hand Unclothes the earth, and freezes up frail life.

More quotes by William Blake
Time is the Mercy of Eternity
William Blake
Love is weak when there is more doubt than there is trust, but love is most strong when you learn to trust even with all the doubts. If a thing loves, it is infinite.
William Blake
If you, who are organised by Divine Providence for spiritual communion, refuse, and bury your talent in the earth, even though you should want natural bread, sorrow and desperation pursue you through life, and after death shame and confusion of face to eternity.
William Blake
The Fool shall not enter into Heaven let him be ever so Holy.
William Blake
Prudence is a rich, ugly, old maid courted by incapacity.
William Blake
The Sick Rose O Rose, thou art sick. The invisible worm That flies in the night In the howling storm Has found out thy bed Of crimson joy, And his dark secret love Does thy life destroy.
William Blake
thus men forgot that all deities reside in the human breast.
William Blake
The reason Milton wrote in fetters when he wrote of Angels and God, and at liberty when of Devils and Hell, is because he was a true poet and of the Devil's party without knowing it.
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
The fox condemns the trap, not himself.
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
The Goddess Fortune is the devil's servant, ready to kiss any one's ass.
William Blake
When nations grow old the Arts grow cold And commerce settles on every tree
William Blake
He who loves his enemies betrays his friends this surely is not what Jesus meant.
William Blake
When a sinister person means to be your enemy, they always start by trying to become your friend.
William Blake
One thought fills immensity.
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
One Power alone makes a Poet: Imagination. The Divine Vision.
William Blake
Can I see another's woe, and not be in sorrow too? Can I see another's grief, and not seek for kind relief?
William Blake
Tools were made and born were hands, Every farmer understands.
William Blake
