Additional quotes by William Blake

And I made a rural pen,
And I stained the water clear,
And I wrote my happy songs
Every child may joy to hear.

I said: 'Thou thing of patches, rings,
Pins, necklaces and suchlike things,
Disguiser of the female form,
Thou paltry, gilded poisonous worm!

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

Turn away no more; Why wilt thou turn away? The starry floor, The watery shore Is given thee till the break of day. - William Blake
