It is the greatest of crimes to depress true art and science.
William Blake
Image
A dog starv'd at the master's gate Predicts the ruin of the State. A horse misus'd upon the road Calls to heaven for human blood. Each outcry of the hunted hare A fibre from the brain does tear, A skylark wounded on the wing, A cherubim does cease to sing.
William Blake

Image
Ah, sunflower, weary of time, Who countest the steps of the sun, Seeking after that sweet golden clime Where the traveller's journey is done Where the youth pined away with desire And the pale virgin shrouded in snow Arise from their graves, and aspire Where my sunflower wishes to go.
William Blake
Image
Every Night and every Morn Some to Misery are born. Every Morn and every Night Some are born to Sweet Delight, Some are born to Endless Night.
William Blake
Image
A dead body revenges not injuries.
William Blake
Image
Mercy, pity, and peace, Are the world's release.
William Blake
Image
Why cannot the ear be closed to its own destruction? Or the glistening eye to the poison of a smile?
William Blake
Image
The world of imagination is the world of eternity. It is the divine bosom into which we shall all go after death of the vegetative body.
William Blake
Image
Always be ready to speak your mind, and a base man will avoid you.
William Blake
Image
thus men forgot that all deities reside in the human breast.

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.
