William Blake
Image
The world of imagination is the world of eternity. It is the divine bosom into which we shall all go after death of the vegetative body.
William Blake
Image
Opposition is true friendship.
William Blake
Image
For everything exists and not one sigh nor smile nor tear, one hair nor particle of dust, not one can pass away.
William Blake
Image
Can I see a falling tear, And not feel my sorrow's share?
William Blake
Image
Christ's crucifix shall be made an excuse for executing criminals.
William Blake
Image
I give you the end of a golden string, Only wind it into a ball, It will lead you in at Heaven's gate Built in Jerusalem's wall.
William Blake
Image
Tools were made and born were hands, Every farmer understands.
