Image
The difference between a bad artist and a good one is: the bad artist seems to copy a great deal the good one really does.
William Blake
Image
He who desires, but acts not, breeds pestilence.
William Blake
Image
Love to faults is always blind, always is to joy inclined. Lawless, winged, and unconfined, and breaks all chains from every mind.
William Blake
Image
To see a world in a grain of sand and a heaven in a wildflower.
William Blake
Image
He who binds to himself a joy Does the winged life destroy But he who kisses the joy as it flies Lives in eternity's sun rise.
William Blake
Image
The vision of Christ that thou dost see is my vision's greatest enemy . Both read the Bible day and night, but thou read'st black where I read white. His seventy disciples sent against religion and government .
William Blake
Image
Where others see but the dawn coming over the hill, I see the soul of God shouting for joy.

Kill not the moth nor butterfly, For the Last Judgement draweth nigh.
William Blake
Image
For where'er the sun does shine, And where'er the rain does fall, Babe can never hunger there, Nor poverty the mind appall.
William Blake
Image
My mother groaned, my father wept, into the dangerous world I leapt.
William Blake

How can a bird that is born for joy Sit in a cage and sing?
William Blake
Image
A DIVINE IMAGE Cruelty has a human heart, And Jealousy a human face Terror the human form divine, And Secresy the human dress. The human dress is forged iron, The human form a fiery forge, The human face a furnace sealed, The human heart its hungry gorge.
William Blake
Image
The lamb misused breeds public strife And yet forgives the butcher's knife.
William Blake
Image
God is the poetic genius in each of us.
