Each man is haunted until his humanity awakens.
William Blake

William Blake

Like a fiend in a cloud, With howling woe, After night I do crowd, And with night will go I turn my back to the east, From whence comforts have increased For light doth seize my brain With frantic pain.
William Blake
Image
Pride is a personal commitment. It is an attitude which separates excellence from mediocrity.

The ignorant Insults of Individuals will not hinder me from doing my duty to my Art
William Blake
Image
Where lambs have nibbled, silent moves the feet of angels bright unseen they pour blessing, and joy without ceasing, on each bud and blossom, and each sleeping bosom.
William Blake
Image
When a sinister person means to be your enemy, they always start by trying to become your friend.
William Blake
Image
The Angel that presided o'er my birth Said, 'Little creature, formed of joy and mirth, Go love without the help of any thing on earth'.
William Blake
Image
Hindsight is a wonderful thing but foresight is better, especially when it comes to saving life, or some pain!
William Blake

Why a tender curb upon the youthful burning boy? Why a little curtain of flesh on the bed of our desire?
