More quotes by William Blake
The tigers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction.
William Blake
Mere enthusiasm is the all in all... / Passion and expression are beauty itself.
William Blake
The soul of sweet delight, can never be defiled.
William Blake
Every Night and every Morn Some to Misery are born. Every Morn and every Night Some are born to Sweet Delight, Some are born to Endless Night.
William Blake
Like a fiend in a cloud, With howling woe, After night I do crowd, And with night will go I turn my back to the east, From whence comforts have increased For light doth seize my brain With frantic pain.
William Blake
Praises reap not! Joys laugh not! Sorrows weep not!
William Blake
If you trap the moment before it's ripe, The tears of repentence you'll certainly wipe But if once you let the ripe moment go You can never wipe off the tears of woe.
William Blake
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
Invention depends altogether upon execution or organization as that is right or wrong so is the invention perfect or imperfect.
William Blake
England! awake! awake! awake! Jerusalem thy sister calls! Why wilt thou sleep the sleep of death And close her from thy ancient walls?
William Blake
The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship.
William Blake
The true method of knowledge is experiment.
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
The moon, like a flower in heaven's high bower, with silent delight sits and smiles on the night.
William Blake
Those who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained.
William Blake
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
Both read the Bible day and night, but thou read black where I read white.
William Blake
I cry, Love! Love! Love! happy happy Love! free as the mountain wind!
William Blake
To the eyes of a miser a guinea is more beautiful than the sun, and a bag worn with the use of money has more beautiful proportions than a vine filled with grapes.
William Blake
I am under the direction of messengers from Heaven daily and nightly.
William Blake
