More quotes by William Blake
Mysteries are not to be solved. They eye goes blind when it only wants to see why.
William Blake
The strongest poison ever known came from Caesar's laurel crown.
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
Joys impregnate. Sorrows bring forth.
William Blake
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
God forbid that Truth should be confined to Mathematical Demonstration!
William Blake
Energy is eternal delight.
William Blake
Why cannot the ear be closed to its own destruction? Or the glistening eye to the poison of a smile?
William Blake
Joy and woe are woven fine, A clothing for the soul divine. Under every grief and pine Runs a joy with silken twine.
William Blake
As I was walking among the fires of Hell, delighted with the enjoyments of Genius which to Angels look like torment and insanity, I collected some of their Proverbs.
William Blake
When nations grow old the Arts grow cold And commerce settles on every tree
William Blake
Dear Mother, dear Mother, the Church is cold, But the Ale-house is healthy and pleasant and warm.
William Blake
Piping down the valleys wild, Piping songs of pleasant glee, On a cloud I saw a child, And he laughing said to me: Pipe a song about a Lamb. So I piped with merry cheer Piper, pipe that song again. So I piped he wept to hear.
William Blake
Mercy, pity, and peace, Are the world's release.
William Blake
The world of imagination is the world of eternity.
William Blake
Time is the Mercy of Eternity
William Blake
Why a tender curb upon the youthful burning boy? Why a little curtain of flesh on the bed of our desire?
William Blake
General good is the plea of the scoundrel, hypocite, flatterer.
William Blake
Better to shun the bait than struggle in the snare.
William Blake
O Earth, O Earth, return! Arise from out the dewy grass Night is worn And the morn Rises from the slumbrous mass.
William Blake
