Empire follows art and not vice versa as Englishmen suppose.
William Blake
The man who never alters his opinions is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind.
William Blake
The man who never in his mind and thoughts travel’d to heaven is no artist.
William Blake
To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower
Hold infinity in the palms of your hand and eternity in an hour.
William Blake
The true method of knowledge is experiment.
William Blake
As a man is, so he sees. As the eye is formed, such are its powers.
William Blake
He who binds to himself a joy Does the winged life destroy; But he who kisses the joy as it flies Lives in eternity’s sun rise.
William Blake
I must create a system or be enslaved by another mans; I will not reason and compare: my business is to create.
William Blake
Great things are done when men and mountains meet
William Blake
Prose by William Blake-1757-1827
All paintings by myself, many of these and many more will be displayed at my forthcoming exhibition
I wander through each chartered street,
Near where the chartered Thames does flow,
And mark in every face I meet,
Marks of weakness, marks of woe.
In every cry of every man,
In every infant’s cry of fear,
In every voice, in every ban,
The mind-forged manacles I hear:
London- William Blake
