More quotes by William Blake
Why a tender curb upon the youthful burning boy? Why a little curtain of flesh on the bed of our desire?
William Blake
When the sun rises, do you not see a round disc of fire somewhat like a guinea? O no, no, I see an innumerable company of the heavenly host crying Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty.
William Blake
Let the men do their duty & the women will be such wonders the female life lives from the light of the male: see a man's female dependants, you know the man.
William Blake

William Blake
Every thing possible to be believ'd is an image of truth.
William Blake

William Blake
They who forgive most shall be most forgiven.
William Blake
Truth can never be told so as to be understood and not be believed.
William Blake
How can the bird that is born for joy Sit in a cage and sing? How can a child, when fears annoy, But droop his tender wing, And forget his youthful spring?
William Blake
But when he has done this, let him not say that he knows better than his master, for he only holds a candle in sunshine.
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
[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
As we are, so we see.
William Blake
Imagination is the real and eternal world of which this vegetable universe is but a faint shadow.
William Blake
Why stand we here trembling around, calling on God for help, and not ourselves, in whom God dwells?
William Blake
The generations of men run on in the tide of time, but leave their destined lineaments permanent for ever and ever.
