More quotes by William Blake
Lo! now the direful monster, whose skin clings To his strong bones, strides o'er the groaning rocks: He withers all in silence, and his hand Unclothes the earth, and freezes up frail life.
William Blake
To the eyes of a miser a guinea is more beautiful than the sun, and a bag worn with the use of money has more beautiful proportions than a vine filled with grapes.
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
The lust of the goat is the bounty of God.
William Blake
Energy is eternal delight.
William Blake
As a man is, so he sees. As the eye is formed, such are its powers.
William Blake
When Sir Joshua Reynolds died All Nature was degraded
William Blake
On no other ground Can I sow my seed Without tearing up Some stinking weed.
William Blake
You never know what is enough unless you know what is more than enough.
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
The apple tree never asks the beech how he shall grow, nor the lion, the horse, how he shall take his prey.
William Blake
When nations grow old the Arts grow cold And commerce settles on every tree
William Blake
To see a world in a grain of sand And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour.
William Blake
My Brother starv'd between two Walls,His Children's Cry my Soul appalls
William Blake
The pride of the peacock is the glory of God. The lust of the goat is the bounty of God. The wrath of the lion is the wisdom of God. The nakedness of woman is the work of God.
William Blake
When the sun rises, do you not see a round disc of fire somewhat like a guinea? O no, no, I see an innumerable company of the heavenly host crying Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty.
William Blake
Since all the riches of this world May be gifts from the Devil and earthly kings, I should suspect that I worshipp'd the Devil If I thank'd my God for worldly things.
William Blake
Forgive what you do not approve & love me for this energetic exertion of my talent
William Blake
Knowledge of ideal beauty is not to be acquired. It is born with us. Innate ideas are in every man, born with him theyare truly himself.
William Blake
I must create a system, or be enslav'd by another man's.
William Blake
