The look of love alarms Because 'tis filled with fire But the look of soft deceit Shall win the lover's hire.
William Blake
Image
The inquiry in England is not whether a man has talents and genius, but whether he is passive and polite and a virtuous ass and obedient to noblemen's opinions in art and science. If he is, he is a good man. If not, he must be starved.
William Blake
Image
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

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
The hours of folly are measured by the clock but of wisdom, no clock can measure.
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?
William Blake
Image
The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom.
William Blake
Image
Opposition is true friendship.
William Blake
Image
Ages are All Equal. / But Genius is Always Above The Age.

The best wine is the oldest, the best water the newest.
