William Blake
If you have form'd a circle to go into, Go into it yourself, and see how you would do. They said this mystery never shall cease: The priest promotes war, and the soldier peace.
William Blake

William Blake
Why stand we here trembling around, calling on God for help, and not ourselves, in whom God dwells?
William Blake
To cast aside from Poetry, all that is not Inspiration
William Blake
For Mercy has a human heart Pity, a human face: And Love, the human form divine, And Peace, the human dress.
William Blake
