Additional quotes by William Blake

Whate'er is born of mortal birth Must be consumed with the earth,

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

To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.

Sweet babe, in thy face Soft desires I can trace, Secret joys and secret smiles, Little pretty infant wiles. - William Blake
