Energy is an eternal delight.
William Blake

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
Down the winding cavern we groped our tedious way, till a void boundless as the nether sky appeared beneath us, and we held by the roots of trees and hung over this immensity but I said: if you please we will commit ourselves to this void and see whether providence is here also.
William Blake
Image

The Bat that flits at close of Eve Has left the Brain that won't believe. The Owl that calls upon the Night Speaks the Unbeliever's fright.
William Blake
Image
And I made a rural pen, And I stained the water clear, And I wrote my happy songs Every Child may joy to hear.
William Blake
Image
You become what you behold.
William Blake
Image
How do you know but ev’ry Bird that cuts the airy way, Is an immense world of delight, clos’d by your senses five?
William Blake
Image
He who shall hurt the little wren Shall never be beloved by men.
William Blake
Image
Pay attention to minute particulars. Take care of the little ones. Generalization and abstraction are the plea of the hypocrite, scoundrel, and knave.
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
