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
The countless gold of a merry heart, The rubies and pearls of a loving eye, The indolent never can bring to the mart, Nor the secret hoard up in his treasury.
William Blake

Image
Better to shun the bait than struggle in the snare.
William Blake
Image
Struggling in my father's hands, Striving against my swaddling bands, Bound and weary, I thought best To sulk upon my mother's breast.

Without minute neatness of execution, the sublime cannot exist! Grandeur of ideas is founded on precision of ideas.
William Blake

Never seek to tell thy love Love that never told can be. For the gentle wind does move silently.. invisibly.
William Blake
Image
A dead body revenges not injuries.
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
As a man is, so he sees. As the eye is formed, such are its powers.
William Blake
Image
The mocker of Art is the mocker of Jesus.
William Blake

Truth can never be told so as to be understood and not be believed.
William Blake
Image
Every tear from every eyeBecomes a babe in eternity.
