More quotes by William Blake
Little Lamb, who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee?
William Blake

William Blake

William Blake
All futurity seems teeming with endless destruction never to be repelled Desperate remorse swallows the present in a quenchless rage.
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.
