More quotes by William Blake
Art degraded, Imagination denied.
William Blake
You smile with pomp and rigor, you talk of benevolence and virtue I act with benevolence and virtue and get murdered time after time.
William Blake
Can I see a falling tear, And not feel my sorrow's share?
William Blake
I am going to that country which I have all my life wished to see.
William Blake
A robin redbreast in a cage Puts all heaven in a rage.
William Blake
One law for the lion and ox is oppression.
William Blake
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
The imagination is not a state: it is the human existence itself.
William Blake
The lust of the goat is the bounty of God.
William Blake
If a thing loves, it is infinite.
William Blake
Love seeketh not itself to please, nor for itself hath any care, but for another gives its ease, and builds a Heaven in Hell's despair.
William Blake
A DIVINE IMAGE Cruelty has a human heart, And Jealousy a human face Terror the human form divine, And Secresy the human dress. The human dress is forged iron, The human form a fiery forge, The human face a furnace sealed, The human heart its hungry gorge.
William Blake
Some say that happiness is not good for mortals, & they ought to be answered that sorrow is not fit for immortals & is utterly useless to any one a blight never does good to a tree, & if a blight kill not a tree but it still bear fruit, let none say that the fruit was in consequence of the blight.
William Blake
Mere enthusiasm is the all in all.
William Blake
I will not cease from mental fight Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand.
William Blake
When my mother died I was very young, And my father sold me while yet my tongue Could scarcely cry weep weep weep weep. So your chimneys I sweep, and in soot I sleep.
William Blake
Angels are happier than men and devils, because they are not always prying after good and evil in one another, and eating the tree of knowledge for Satan's gratification.
William Blake
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
Every wolf's and lion's howl Raises from Hell a human soul.
William Blake
To some people a tree is something so incredibly beautiful that it brings tears to the eyes. To others it is just a green thing that stands in the way.
William Blake
