William Blake
A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees.
William Blake
What is grand is necessarily obscure to weak men. That which can be made explicit to the idiot is not worth my care.
William Blake
Mercy, Pity, Peace Is the world's release.
William Blake
He who kisses joy as it flies by will live in eternity's sunrise.
William Blake
To Mercy, Pity, Peace and Love All pray in their distress, And to these virtues of delight Return their thankfulness.
