William Blake

It is right it should be so: Man was made for joy and woe; And when this we rightly know Through the world we safely go.

William Blake

Joy and woe are woven fine, a clothing for the soul divine. Under every grief and pine, runs a joy with silken twine.

William Blake

Joys impregnate. Sorrows bring forth.

William Blake

Kill not the moth nor butterfly, For the last judgment draweth nigh.

William Blake

Knowledge of ideal beauty is not to be acquired. It is born with us. Innate ideas are in every man, born with him; theyare truly himself.

William Blake

Let men do their duty and the women will be such wonders; the female lives from the light of the male: see a male’s female dependants, you know the man.

William Blake

Love is the child that breathes our breath. Love is the child that scatters death.

William Blake

Love is weak when there is more doubt than there is trust, but love is most strong when you learn to trust even with all the doubts. 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

Love to faults is always blind, always is to joy inclined. Lawless, winged, and unconfined, and breaks all chains from every mind.

William Blake
