William Blake
I asked a thief to steal me a peach: He turned up his eyes. I asked a lithe lady to lie her down: Holy and meek, she cries. As soon as I went An angel came. He winked at the thief And smiled at the dame- And without one word spoke Had a peach from the tree, And 'twixt earnest and joke Enjoyed the lady.
William Blake
If you have form'd a circle to go into, Go into it yourself, and see how you would do. They said this mystery never shall cease: The priest promotes war, and the soldier peace.
William Blake
Christ's crucifix shall be made an excuse for executing criminals.
William Blake
I must create a system or be enslaved by another mans I will not reason and compare: my business is to create.
William Blake
Every tear from every eyeBecomes a babe in eternity.
William Blake
