Image
It is not because angels are holier than men or devils that makes them angels, but because they do not expect holiness from one another, but from God only.
William Blake
Image
Praises reap not! Joys laugh not! Sorrows weep not!
William Blake
Image
Pity would be no more, If we did not make somebody poor. Mercy no more could be, If all were happy as we.
William Blake
Image
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
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
Auguries of innocence The emmet's inch and eagle's mile Make lame philosophy to smile. He who doubts from what he sees Will ne'er believe, do what you please.
William Blake
Image
The Sick Rose O Rose, thou art sick. The invisible worm That flies in the night In the howling storm Has found out thy bed Of crimson joy, And his dark secret love Does thy life destroy.
William Blake
Image
Without minute neatness of execution, the sublime cannot exist! Grandeur of ideas is founded on precision of ideas.
William Blake
Image
Nothing is real beyond imaginative patterns men make of reality.
William Blake
Image
O Earth, O Earth, return! Arise from out the dewy grass Night is worn And the morn Rises from the slumbrous mass.
William Blake
Image
Lives in eternity's sun rise.
William Blake
Image
In the universe, there are things that are known, and things that are unknown, and in between, there are doors.
William Blake
Image
Poetry fettered fetters the human race.
William Blake
Image
Christ's crucifix shall be made an excuse for executing criminals.
William Blake
Image
Where cheating is, there's mischief there.
William Blake
Image
Nature in darkness groans and men are bound to sullen contemplation in the night: restless they turn on beds of sorrow in their inmost brain feeling the crushing wheels, they rise, they write the bitter words of stern philosophy and knead the bread of knowledge with tears and groans.
William Blake
Image
There can be no Good Will. Will is always Evil it is persecution to others or selfishness.
William Blake
Image
Abstinence sows sand all over The ruddy limbs and flaming hair, But desire gratified Plants fruits of life and beauty there.
William Blake
Image
Thy friendship oft has made my heart to ache: do be my enemy for friendship's sake.
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
