Image
I myself do nothing. The Holy Spirit accomplishes all through me.
William Blake
Image
Every harlot was a virgin once.
William Blake
Image
To my eye Rubens' colouring is most contemptible. His shadows are a filthy brown somewhat the colour of excrement.
William Blake
Image
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
Image
He who makes his law a curse, by his own law shall surely die.

She who dwells with me whom I have loved with such communion, that no place on earth can ever be solitude to me.
William Blake

William Blake
Image
Where cheating is, there's mischief there.
William Blake
Image
The Britons (say historians) were naked, civilized men, learned, studious, abstruse in thought and contemplation naked, simple, plain in their acts and manners wiser than after ages.
William Blake
Image
Sweet babe, in thy face Soft desires I can trace, Secret joys and secret smiles, Little pretty infant wiles.
William Blake
Image
Then my verse I dishonor, my pictures despise, my person degrade and my temper chastise and the pen is my terror, the pencil my shame and my talents I bury, and dead is my fame.
William Blake
Image
The voice of honest indignation is the voice of God.
William Blake
Image
To generalize is to be an idiot.
William Blake
Image
Down the winding cavern we groped our tedious way, till a void boundless as the nether sky appeared beneath us, and we held by the roots of trees and hung over this immensity but I said: if you please we will commit ourselves to this void and see whether providence is here also.
William Blake

Do what you will this life's a fiction, And is made up of contradiction.
William Blake
