More quotes by William Blake

Image
Nature in darkness groans and men are bound to sullen contemplation in the night: restless they turn on beds of sorrow in their inmost brain feeling the crushing wheels, they rise, they write the bitter words of stern philosophy and knead the bread of knowledge with tears and groans.
William Blake
Image
The lamb misused breeds public strife And yet forgives the butcher's knife.
William Blake
Image
The ruins of time build mansions in eternity.
William Blake
Image
For Mercy has a human heart Pity, a human face: And Love, the human form divine, And Peace, the human dress.
William Blake
Image
He who pretends to be either painter or engraver without being a master of drawing is an imposter.
William Blake
Image
He who would do good to another must do it in Minute Particulars: general Good is the plea of the scoundrel, hypocrite, and flatterer, for Art and Science cannot exist but in minutely organized Particulars.
William Blake
Image
Every tear from every eyeBecomes a babe in eternity.
William Blake
Image
Can I see another's woe, And not be in sorrow too? Can I see another's grief, And not seek for kind relief? Can I see a falling tear, And not feel my sorrow's share? Can a father see his child Weep, nor be with sorrow filled? Can a mother sit and hear An infant groan, an infant fear? No, no! never can it be! Never, never can it be!
William Blake
Image
I rest not from my great task! | To open the Eternal Worlds, | to open the immortal Eyes of Man | Inwards into the Worlds of Thought | Into eternity, ever expanding | In the Bosom of God, | The Human Imagination
William Blake
Image
Without contraries is no progression. Attraction and repulsion, reason and energy, love and hate, are necessary to human existence.
William Blake
Image
God appears, and God is Light, to those poor souls who dwell in Night but does a Human Form display to those who dwell in realms of Day.
William Blake
Image
God forbid that Truth should be confined to Mathematical Demonstration!
William Blake
Image
When my mother died I was very young, And my father sold me while yet my tongue Could scarcely cry weep weep weep weep. So your chimneys I sweep, and in soot I sleep.
William Blake
Image
He who doubts from what he sees Will ne'er believe, do what you please.
William Blake
Image
Death is terrible, tho' borne on angels' wings!
William Blake
Image
Nature has no outline. Imagination has.
William Blake
Image
When the stars threw down their spears, and watered heaven with their tears, did he smile his work to see? Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
William Blake
Image
Life delights in life.
William Blake
Image
Kill not the moth nor butterfly, For the Last Judgement draweth nigh.
William Blake
Image
In every cry of every man, In every infant's cry of fear, In every voice, in every ban, The mind-forg'd manacles I hear.
