Additional quotes by William Blake

If you have form'd a Circle to go into, / Go into it yourself & see how you would do.

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.

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
