William Blake Quotes
He who binds to himself a joy Does the winged life destroy; But he who kisses the joy as it flies Lives in eternity's sun rise. He who desires, but acts not, breeds pestilence. He who would do good to another must do it in Minute Particulars: general Good is the plea of the scoundrel, hypocrite, and flatterer, for Art and Science cannot exist but in minutely organized Particulars. He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star. I am in you and you in me, mutual in divine love. I have no name: I am but two days old. What shall I call thee? I happy am, Joy is my name. Sweet joy befall thee! I must create a system or be enslaved by another mans; I will not reason and compare: my business is to create. I was angry with my friend: I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe: I told it not, my wrath did grow. If a thing loves, it is infinite. If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. If the fool would persist in his folly he would become wise. If the Sun and Moon should ever doubt, they'd immediately go out. Imagination is the real and eternal world of which this vegetable universe is but a faint shadow. In seed time learn, in harvest teach, in winter enjoy. It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend. It is not because angels are holier than men or devils that makes them angels, but because they do not expect holiness from one another, but from God only. Lives in eternity's sun rise. 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. Man has no Body distinct from his Soul; for that called Body is a portion of Soul discerned by the five Senses, the chief inlets of Soul in this age. No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings.
