When my mother died I was very young, And my father sold me while yet my tongue Could scarcely cry weep weep weep weep. So your chimneys I sweep, and in soot I sleep.
William Blake
Image
Pity would be no more, If we did not make somebody poor. Mercy no more could be, If all were happy as we.

Reason, or the ratio of all we have already known, is not the same that it shall be when we know more.
William Blake
Image
Can I see another's woe, And not be in sorrow too? Can I see another's grief, And not seek for kind relief? Can I see a falling tear, And not feel my sorrow's share? Can a father see his child Weep, nor be with sorrow filled? Can a mother sit and hear An infant groan, an infant fear? No, no! never can it be! Never, never can it be!
William Blake
Image
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
Image
It is an easy thing to talk of patience to the afflicted.
William Blake
Image
You cannot have Liberty in this world without what you call Moral Virtue, and you cannot have Moral Virtue without the slavery of that half of the human race who hate what you call Moral Virtue.
William Blake
Image
He who replies to words of doubt doth put the light of knowledge out.
William Blake
Image
The eye sees more than the heart knows.
William Blake

Why a tender curb upon the youthful burning boy? Why a little curtain of flesh on the bed of our desire?
