Quote

Come o'er the eastern hills, and let our winds Kiss thy perfumed garments let us taste Thy morn and evening breath scatter thy pearls Upon our love-sick land that mourns for thee.

You become what you behold.
William Blake
Image
The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity... and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.
William Blake
Image
Mercy, Pity, Peace Is the world's release.
William Blake
Image
Men are admitted into heaven not because they have curbed and governed their passions or have no passions, but because they have cultivated their understandings. The treasures of heaven are not negations of passion, but realities of intellect, from which all the passions emanate uncurbed in their eternal glory.
William Blake
Image
Time is the mercy of Eternity without Time's swiftness Which is the swiftest of all things, all were eternal torment.
William Blake
Image
It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.
William Blake

Active Evil is better than Passive Good.
William Blake
Image
The Britons (say historians) were naked, civilized men, learned, studious, abstruse in thought and contemplation naked, simple, plain in their acts and manners wiser than after ages.
William Blake
Image
Think not thou canst sigh a sigh And thy maker is not by Think not thou canst weep a tear And thy maker is not near.
William Blake
Image
Poetry fettered, fetters the human race. Nations are destroyed or flourish in proportion as their poetry, painting, and music are destroyed or flourish.
William Blake
Image
Embraces are comminglings from the head even to the feet, And not a pompous high priest entering by a secret place.
William Blake
Image
The wrath of the lion is the wisdom of God.
William Blake
Image
This life's dim windows of the soul Distorts the heavens from pole to pole And leads you to believe a lie When you see with, not through, the eye.
William Blake
Image
Every mortal loss is an immortal gain.
William Blake
Image
He who replies to words of doubt doth put the light of knowledge out.
William Blake
Image
The roaring of lions, the howling of wolves, the raging of the stormy sea, and the destructive sword, are portions of eternity, too great for the eye of man.
William Blake
Image
We are here to learn to endure the beams of love
William Blake
Image
Prepare your hearts for Death's cold hand! prepare Your souls for flight, your bodies for the earth Prepare your arms for glorious victory Prepare your eyes to meet a holy God! Prepare, prepare!
William Blake
Image
I must create a system or be enslaved by another mans I will not reason and compare: my business is to create.
William Blake

Father, O father! what do we here In this land of unbelief and fear?
William Blake
