Additional quotes by William Blake

For washed in life's river,
My bright mane forever
Shall shine like the gold
As Iguard o'er the fold.

And, father, how can I love you
Or any of my brothers more?

And laughing is heard on the hill,
My heart is at rest within my breast
And everything else is still.
