The human mind cannot go beyond the gift of God, the Holy Ghost. To suppose that art can go beyond the finest specimens of art that are now in the world is not knowing what art is it is being blind to the gifts of the spirit.

More quotes by William Blake
When the stars threw down their spears, and watered heaven with their tears, did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
William Blake
In your own bosom you bear your heaven and earth, And all you behold, though it appears without, It is within, in your imagination, Of which this world of mortality is but a shadow.
William Blake
The Stolen and Perverted Writings of Homer & Ovid, of Plato & Cicero, which all men ought to contemn, are set up by artifice against the Sublime of the Bible
William Blake
The pride of the peacock is the glory of God. The lust of the goat is the bounty of God. The wrath of the lion is the wisdom of God. The nakedness of woman is the work of God.
William Blake
I thought Love lived in the hot sunshine, But O, he lives in the moony light! I thought to find Love in the heat of day, But sweet Love is the comforter of night.
William Blake
I love hanging and drawing and quartering Every bit as well as war and slaughtering.
William Blake
And we are put on earth a little space, That we may learn to bear the beams of love.
William Blake
The moon, like a flower in heaven's high bower, with silent delight sits and smiles on the night.
William Blake
Without minute neatness of execution, the sublime cannot exist! Grandeur of ideas is founded on precision of ideas.
William Blake
To see a world in a grain of sand And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour.
William Blake
The Man who never in his Mind & Thoughts travel'd to Heaven Is No Artist.
William Blake
The lust of the goat is the bounty of God.
William Blake
He who has few things to desire cannot have many to fear.
William Blake
The Woman that does not love your Frowns Will never embrace your smiles.
William Blake
Mans desires are limited by his perceptions none can desire what he has not perceived.
William Blake
The mocker of Art is the mocker of Jesus.
William Blake
The Old and New Testaments are the Great Code of Art.
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
The countless gold of a merry heart, The rubies and pearls of a loving eye, The indolent never can bring to the mart, Nor the secret hoard up in his treasury.
William Blake
To create a little flower is the labour of ages.
William Blake
