Additional quotes by William Blake

Fiery the Angels rose, & as they rose deep thunder roll’d Around their shores, indignant burning with the fires of Orc.

He who doubts from what he sees
Will ne'er believe, do what you please.
If the sun and moon should doubt
They'd immediately go out.

But when he has done this, let him not say that he knows better than his master, for he only holds a candle in sunshine.
