More quotes by William Blake
Can I see another's woe, And not be in sorrow too? Can I see another's grief, And not seek for kind relief? Can I see a falling tear, And not feel my sorrow's share? Can a father see his child Weep, nor be with sorrow filled? Can a mother sit and hear An infant groan, an infant fear? No, no! never can it be! Never, never can it be!
William Blake
Every mortal loss is an immortal gain.
William Blake
Naught can deform the human race Like to the armor's iron brace.

William Blake
Sleep, sleep, beauty bright,Dreaming o'er the joys of night.Sleep, sleep: in thy sleepLittle sorrows sit and weep.
William Blake

William Blake
Where others see but the dawn coming over the hill, I see the soul of God shouting for joy.
William Blake
The imagination is not a state: it is the human existence itself.
William Blake
The atoms of Democritus And Newton's particles of light Are sands upon the Red Sea shore, Where Israel's tents do shine so bright.
William Blake
Auguries of innocence The emmet's inch and eagle's mile Make lame philosophy to smile. He who doubts from what he sees Will ne'er believe, do what you please.
William Blake
Although wine when it is read somewhat lacks the savour of wine when it is drunk, wine remains a very pleasant thing both to read about and to chat about.
William Blake
Improvement makes strait roads, but the crooked roads without Improvement, are roads of Genius.
William Blake
Demonstration, similitude & harmony are objects of reasoning. Invention, identity & melody are objects of intuition.
William Blake
He who shall teach the child to doubtThe rotting grave shall ne'er get out.
William Blake
The ignorant Insults of Individuals will not hinder me from doing my duty to my Art
