More quotes by William Blake
To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wildflower.
William Blake
The reason Milton wrote in fetters when he wrote of Angels and God, and at liberty when of Devils and Hell, is because he was a true poet and of the Devil's party without knowing it.
William Blake
Great things are done when men and mountains meet.
William Blake
Celebrate your existence!
William Blake
I asked a thief to steal me a peach: He turned up his eyes. I asked a lithe lady to lie her down: Holy and meek, she cries. As soon as I went An angel came. He winked at the thief And smiled at the dame- And without one word spoke Had a peach from the tree, And 'twixt earnest and joke Enjoyed the lady.
William Blake
Innocence dwells with Wisdom, but never with ignorance.
William Blake
Like a fiend in a cloud, With howling woe, After night I do crowd, And with night will go I turn my back to the east, From whence comforts have increased For light doth seize my brain With frantic pain.
William Blake
I care not whether a man is good or evil all that I care / Is whether he is a wise man or a fool. Go! put off holiness, / And put on intellect.
William Blake
Every harlot was a virgin once.
William Blake
Sweet babe, in thy face Soft desires I can trace, Secret joys and secret smiles, Little pretty infant wiles.
William Blake
The Bat that flits at close of Eve Has left the Brain that won't believe. The Owl that calls upon the Night Speaks the Unbeliever's fright.
William Blake
My Brother starv'd between two Walls,His Children's Cry my Soul appalls
William Blake
Rhetoric completes the tools of learning. Dialectic zeros in on the logic of things, of particular systems of thought or subjects. Rhetoric takes the next grand step and brings all these subjects together into one whole.
William Blake
Everything to be imagined is an image of truth.
William Blake
Some will say, Is not God alone the Prolific? I answer, God only Acts & Is, in existing beings or Men.
William Blake
How can the bird that is born for joy Sit in a cage and sing? How can a child, when fears annoy, But droop his tender wing, And forget his youthful spring?
William Blake
Come o'er the eastern hills, and let our winds Kiss thy perfumed garments let us taste Thy morn and evening breath scatter thy pearls Upon our love-sick land that mourns for thee.
William Blake
Every mortal loss is an immortal gain.
William Blake
Forgive what you do not approve & love me for this energetic exertion of my talent
William Blake
And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds and binding with briars my joys and desires. (from 'The Garden of Love')
William Blake
