Joy and woe are woven fine, A clothing for the soul divine. Under every grief and pine Runs a joy with silken twine.
William Blake
Image
Then cherish pity, lest you drive an angel from your door.
William Blake
Image
I must create a system, or be enslav'd by another man's.
William Blake

I am in you and you in me, mutual in divine love.
William Blake
Image
The modest Rose puts forth a thorn,The humble sheep a threat'ning horn:While the Lily white shall in love delight,Nor a thorn nor a threat stain her beauty bright.
William Blake
Image
Why cannot the ear be closed to its own destruction? Or the glistening eye to the poison of a smile?
