Nothing is real beyond imaginative patterns men make of reality.
William Blake
Image
We are led to believe a lie When we see not through the eye.
William Blake
Image
A dog starv'd at the master's gate Predicts the ruin of the State. A horse misus'd upon the road Calls to heaven for human blood. Each outcry of the hunted hare A fibre from the brain does tear, A skylark wounded on the wing, A cherubim does cease to sing.
William Blake
Image
O Autumn, laden with fruit, and stained With the blood of the grape, pass not, but sit Beneath my shady roof there thou may'st rest, And tune thy jolly voice to my fresh pipe And all the daughters of the year shall dance! Sing now the lusty song of fruit and flowers.
William Blake
Image
Thinking as I do that the Creator of this world is a very cruel being, and being a worshipper of Christ, I cannot help saying: ''the Son, O how unlike the Father!'' First God Almighty comes with a thump on the head. Then Jesus Christ comes with a balm to heal it.
William Blake
Image
To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wildflower.
William Blake
Image
Forgive what you do not approve & love me for this energetic exertion of my talent
William Blake
Image
Little fly, thy summer's play My thoughtless hand has brushed away. Am not I a fly like thee? Or art not thou a man like me? For I dance and drink and sing, Till some blind hand shall brush my wing!
William Blake
Image
The imagination is not a state: it is the human existence itself.
William Blake
Image
The person who does not believe in miracles surely makes it certain that he or she will never take part in one.
William Blake
Image
Those who enter the gates of heaven are not beings who have no passions or who have curbed the passions, but those who have cultivated an understanding of them.
William Blake
Image
Father, O father! what do we here In this land of unbelief and fear?
William Blake
Image
The modest Rose puts forth a thorn,The humble sheep a threat'ning horn:While the Lily white shall in love delight,Nor a thorn nor a threat stain her beauty bright.
William Blake
Image
Bring me my bow of burning gold: Bring me my arrows of desire: Bring me my spear: O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire.
William Blake
Image
Degrade first the Arts if you'd Mankind Degrade. Hire Idiots to Paint with cold light & hot shade: Give high Price for the worst, leave the best in disgrace, And with Labours of Ignorance fill every place.
William Blake
Image
The weak in courage is strong in cunning.
William Blake
Image
Art degraded, Imagination denied.
William Blake
Image
'Come hither, my boy, tell me what thou seest there?' 'A fool tangled in a religious snare.'
William Blake
Image
I have mental joys and mental health, Mental friends and mental wealth, I've a wife that I love and that loves me I've all but riches bodily.
William Blake
Image
Better to shun the bait than struggle in the snare.
