Additional quotes by William Blake

The naked woman’s body is a portion of eternity too great for the eye of man.

Eternity is in love with the productions of time. The busy bee has no time for sorrow. The hours of folly are measur’d by the clock, but of wisdom: no clock can measure.

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

The harlot's cry from street to street Shall weave old England's winding sheet. - William Blake
