William Blake
You've always had the power right there in your shoes, you just had to learn it for yourself.
William Blake
The fool who persists in his folly will become wise.
William Blake
[L]et light Rise from the chambers of the east, and bring The honey'd dew that cometh on waking day. O radiant morning.
