William Blake

Then the Parson might preach, & drink, & sing, And we'd be as happy as birds in the spring And modest dame Lurch, who is always at Church, Would not have bandy children, nor fasting, nor birch.
William Blake

William Blake
Image
A dog starv'd at the master's gate Predicts the ruin of the State. A horse misus'd upon the road Calls to heaven for human blood. Each outcry of the hunted hare A fibre from the brain does tear, A skylark wounded on the wing, A cherubim does cease to sing.
William Blake
Image
The stars are threshed, and the souls are threshed from their husks.
William Blake
Image
Death is terrible, tho' borne on angels' wings!
William Blake
Image
The apple tree never asks the beech how he shall grow, nor the lion, the horse, how he shall take his prey.
William Blake
