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.

More quotes by William Blake
Demonstration, similitude & harmony are objects of reasoning. Invention, identity & melody are objects of intuition.
William Blake
What is a wife and what is a harlot? What is a church and what is a theatre? are they two and not one? Can they exist separate? Are not religion and politics the same thing? Brotherhood is religion. O demonstrations of reason dividing families in cruelty and pride!
William Blake
He who pretends to be either painter or engraver without being a master of drawing is an imposter.
William Blake
Then my verse I dishonor, my pictures despise, my person degrade and my temper chastise and the pen is my terror, the pencil my shame and my talents I bury, and dead is my fame.
William Blake
The look of love alarms Because 'tis filled with fire But the look of soft deceit Shall win the lover's hire.
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.
William Blake
Auguries of innocence The emmet's inch and eagle's mile Make lame philosophy to smile. He who doubts from what he sees Will ne'er believe, do what you please.
William Blake
What is it men in women do require: The lineaments of gratified desire. What is it women do in men require: The lineaments of gratified desire.
William Blake
There is a place where Contrarieties are equally True.
William Blake
The Woman that does not love your Frowns Will never embrace your smiles.
William Blake
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
Come o'er the eastern hills, and let our winds Kiss thy perfumed garments let us taste Thy morn and evening breath scatter thy pearls Upon our love-sick land that mourns for thee.
William Blake
The Man who never in his Mind & Thoughts travel'd to Heaven Is No Artist.
William Blake
The hours of folly are measured by the clock but of wisdom, no clock can measure.
William Blake
Without Unceasing Practice nothing can be done. Practice is Art. If you leave off you are lost.
William Blake
Why stand we here trembling around, calling on God for help, and not ourselves, in whom God dwells?
William Blake
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
The Man who pretends to be a modest enquirer into the truth of a self-evident thing is a Knave.
William Blake
One law for the lion and ox is oppression.
William Blake
He who loves his enemies betrays his friends this surely is not what Jesus meant.
William Blake
