More quotes by William Blake
To cast aside from Poetry, all that is not Inspiration
William Blake
For Mercy has a human heart Pity, a human face: And Love, the human form divine, And Peace, the human dress.
William Blake
The lust of the goat is the bounty of God.
William Blake
If the Sun and Moon should ever doubt, they'd immediately go out.
William Blake
Commerce is so far from being beneficial to arts, or to empire, that it is destructive of both, as all their history shows, for the above reason of individual merit being its great hatred. Empires flourish till they become commercial, and then they are scattered abroad to the four winds.
William Blake
When nations grow old the Arts grow cold And commerce settles on every tree
William Blake
Exuberance is beauty.
William Blake
I cry, Love! Love! Love! happy happy Love! free as the mountain wind!
William Blake
Without contraries there is no progression.
William Blake
The imagination is not a state: it is the human existence itself.
William Blake
Prisons are built with stones of Law. Brothels with the bricks of religion.
William Blake
Come live, and be merry, and join with me, To sing the sweet chorus of 'Ha ha he!
William Blake
God is the poetic genius in each of us.
William Blake
Embraces are comminglings from the head even to the feet, And not a pompous high priest entering by a secret place.
William Blake
Why cannot the ear be closed to its own destruction? Or the glistening eye to the poison of a smile?
William Blake
Innocence dwells with Wisdom, but never with ignorance.
William Blake
If you have form'd a circle to go into, Go into it yourself, and see how you would do. They said this mystery never shall cease: The priest promotes war, and the soldier peace.
William Blake
And I watered it in fears, Night and morning with my tears And I sunned it with smiles, And with soft deceitful wiles.
William Blake
Imitation is criticism.
William Blake
To some people a tree is something so incredibly beautiful that it brings tears to the eyes. To others it is just a green thing that stands in the way.
William Blake
