Without minute neatness of execution, the sublime cannot exist! Grandeur of ideas is founded on precision of ideas.
William Blake
Image
Then my verse I dishonor, my pictures despise, my person degrade and my temper chastise and the pen is my terror, the pencil my shame and my talents I bury, and dead is my fame.
William Blake
Image

Come live, and be merry, and join with me, To sing the sweet chorus of 'Ha ha he!
William Blake

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
What is grand is necessarily obscure to weak men. That which can be made explicit to the idiot is not worth my care.
William Blake
