Additional quotes by William Blake

My specter around me night and day
Like a wild beast guards my way,
My emanation far within
Weeps incessantly for my sin.

How can the bird that is born for joy
Sit in a cage and sing?
How can a child, when fears annoy,
But droop his tender wing,
And forget his youthful spring?

A truth that’s told with bad intent Beats all the lies you can invent.
