Additional quotes by William Blake

Everything that lives, lives not alone, nor for itself.

And Priests in black gowns, were walking their rounds,
And binding with briars, my joys & desires.

England! awake! awake! awake!
Jerusalem thy sister calls!
Why wilt thou sleep the sleep of death
And close her from thy ancient walls?
