More quotes by William Blake
When Sir Joshua Reynolds died All Nature was degraded
William Blake
If you have form'd a circle to go into, Go into it yourself, and see how you would do. They said this mystery never shall cease: The priest promotes war, and the soldier peace.
William Blake
The eye sees more than the heart knows.
William Blake
Little Lamb, who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee?
William Blake
But when he has done this, let him not say that he knows better than his master, for he only holds a candle in sunshine.
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? 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
O white-robed Angel, guide my timorous hand to write as on a lofty rock with iron pen the words of truth, that all who pass may read.
William Blake
The pride of the peacock is the glory of God.
William Blake
But most thro' midnight streets I hear How the youthful Harlots curse Blasts the new-born Infants tear And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse
William Blake
The hand of Vengeance found the Bed To which the Purple Tyrant fled The iron hand crush'd the tyrant's head And became Tyrant in his stead.
William Blake
If you would help another man, you must do so in minute particulars.
William Blake
Praises reap not! Joys laugh not! Sorrows weep not!
William Blake
Abstinence sows sand all over The ruddy limbs and flaming hair, But desire gratified Plants fruits of life and beauty there.
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
Art can never exist without naked beauty displayed.
William Blake
He who replies to words of doubt doth put the light of knowledge out.
William Blake
Where others see but the dawn coming over the hill, I see the soul of God shouting for joy.
William Blake
A robin redbreast in a cage Puts all heaven in a rage.
William Blake
In the universe, there are things that are known, and things that are unknown, and in between, there are doors.
William Blake
Joy and woe are woven fine.
William Blake
