More quotes by William Blake

My silks and fine array, My smiles and languished air, By love are driv'n away And mournful lean Despair Brings me yew to deck my grave: Such end true lovers have.
William Blake
Each man is haunted until his humanity awakens.
William Blake
Ages are All Equal. / But Genius is Always Above The Age.
William Blake
It is not because angels are holier than men or devils that makes them angels, but because they do not expect holiness from one another, but from God only.
William Blake
When nations grow old the Arts grow cold And commerce settles on every tree
William Blake
As a man is, so he sees. As the eye is formed, such are its powers.
William Blake
The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.
William Blake
