If you, who are organised by Divine Providence for spiritual communion, refuse, and bury your talent in the earth, even though you should want natural bread, sorrow and desperation pursue you through life, and after death shame and confusion of face to eternity.
William Blake
Image
Joys impregnate. Sorrows bring forth.
William Blake
Image
Wisdom is sold in a desolate marketplace where none can come to buy.

William Blake
Image
The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.
William Blake
Image
Silent as despairing love, and strong as jealousy.
William Blake
Image
Embraces are comminglings from the head even to the feet, And not a pompous high priest entering by a secret place.
William Blake
Image
When nations grow old the Arts grow cold And commerce settles on every tree
William Blake
Image
Does a firm persuasion that a thing is so, make it so? He replied, All poets believe it does. And in ages of imagination, this firm persuasion removes mountains but many are not capable of firm persuasion of anything.
William Blake
Image
Then the Parson might preach, & drink, & sing, And we'd be as happy as birds in the spring And modest dame Lurch, who is always at Church, Would not have bandy children, nor fasting, nor birch.
William Blake
Image
Art can never exist without naked beauty displayed.
William Blake
Image
Invention depends altogether upon execution or organization as that is right or wrong so is the invention perfect or imperfect.
William Blake
Image
If you cannot imagine with the mind's eye much more than you can see with the mortal eye, you have a very poor imagination indeed.
William Blake
Image
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
