Little fly, thy summer's play My thoughtless hand has brushed away. Am not I a fly like thee? Or art not thou a man like me? For I dance and drink and sing, Till some blind hand shall brush my wing!
William Blake

More quotes by William Blake
O Winter! bar thine adamantine doors: The north is thine there hast thou build thy dark, Deep-founded habitation. Shake not thy roofs, Nor bend thy pillars with thine iron car.
William Blake
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
How can a bird that is born for joy Sit in a cage and sing?
William Blake
On no other ground Can I sow my seed Without tearing up Some stinking weed.
William Blake
Prepare your hearts for Death's cold hand! prepare Your souls for flight, your bodies for the earth Prepare your arms for glorious victory Prepare your eyes to meet a holy God! Prepare, prepare!
William Blake
A dead body revenges not injuries.
William Blake
None but blockheads copy each other.
William Blake
Where any view of money exists, art cannot be carried on.
William Blake
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty !
William Blake
Commerce is so far from being beneficial to arts, or to empire, that it is destructive of both, as all their history shows, for the above reason of individual merit being its great hatred. Empires flourish till they become commercial, and then they are scattered abroad to the four winds.
William Blake
We are not meant to resolve all contradictions but to live with them and rise above them.
William Blake
Some will say, Is not God alone the Prolific? I answer, God only Acts & Is, in existing beings or Men.
William Blake
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
Mercy, Pity, Peace Is the world's release.
William Blake
Energy is an eternal delight.
William Blake
Children of the future age Reading this indignant page Know that in a former time Love, sweet love, was thought a crime
William Blake
Poetry fettered, fetters the human race. Nations are destroyed or flourish in proportion as their poetry, painting, and music are destroyed or flourish.
William Blake
Thinking as I do that the Creator of this world is a very cruel being, and being a worshipper of Christ, I cannot help saying: ''the Son, O how unlike the Father!'' First God Almighty comes with a thump on the head. Then Jesus Christ comes with a balm to heal it.
William Blake
There is a place where Contrarieties are equally True.
William Blake
I heard an Angel singing When the day was springing, Mercy, Pity, Peace Is the world's release.
