Image
And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds and binding with briars my joys and desires. (from 'The Garden of Love')
William Blake
Image
It is an easy thing to talk of patience to the afflicted.
William Blake
Image
Love seeketh only self to please, To bind another to its delight, Joys in another's loss of ease, And builds a Hell in Heaven's despite.
William Blake
Image
The atoms of Democritus And Newton's particles of light Are sands upon the Red Sea shore, Where Israel's tents do shine so bright.
William Blake
Image
If you cannot imagine with the mind's eye much more than you can see with the mortal eye, you have a very poor imagination indeed.
William Blake

Joy and woe are woven fine, A clothing for the soul divine. Under every grief and pine Runs a joy with silken twine.
William Blake
Image
I am more famed in Heaven for my works than I could well conceive. In my brain are studies & chambers filled with books & pictures of old, which I wrote and painted in ages of Eternity before my mortal life and whose works are the delight & study of Archangels. Why, then, should I be anxious about the riches or fame of mortality?
William Blake
Image
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
Image
The apple tree never asks the beech how he shall grow, nor the lion, the horse, how he shall take his prey.
William Blake
Image
To cast aside from Poetry, all that is not Inspiration
William Blake
Image
I have mental joys and mental health, Mental friends and mental wealth, I've a wife that I love and that loves me I've all but riches bodily.
William Blake
Image
Thou art a man God is no more Thy own humanity Learn to adore
William Blake
Image
Naught can deform the human race Like to the armor's iron brace.
William Blake
Image
As I was walking among the fires of Hell, delighted with the enjoyments of Genius which to Angels look like torment and insanity, I collected some of their Proverbs.
William Blake
Image
He who replies to words of doubt doth put the light of knowledge out.
