    What are your favourite William blake paintings / poems / quotes?

    This hitted hard for me: “Those who restrain desire, do so because theirs is weak enough to be restrained; and the restrainer or reason usurps its place & governs the unwilling.
    And being restrain'd it by degrees becomes passive till it is only the shadow of desire.”

            THE DEFILED SANCTUARY.
            I Saw a chapel all of gold
            That none did dare to enter in,
            And many weeping stood without,
            Weeping. mourning, worshipping.

            I saw a serpent rise between
            The white pillars of the door,
            And he forced and forced and forced
            Till he the golden hinges tore:

            And along the pavement sweet,
            Set with pearls and rubies bright,
            All his shining length he drew,
            Till upon the altar white

            He vomited his poison out
            On the bread and on the wine.
            So I turned into a sty,
            And laid me down among the swine.

              There is no Natural Religion.
              "less than
              All cannot satisfy
              Man."
              Reminds me of Goethes Faust:
              Daß ich erkenne, was die Welt. Im Innersten zusammenhält
              So that I know what holds. the innermost world together.

                I must create a system, or be enslaved by another man's
                I will not reason and compare: my business is to create

                  The Ecchoing Green

                  The sun does arise,
                  And make happy the skies.
                  The merry bells ring
                  To welcome the Spring.
                  The sky-lark and thrush,
                  The birds of the bush,
                  Sing louder around,
                  To the bells’ cheerful sound.
                  While our sports shall be seen
                  On the Ecchoing Green.

                  Old John, with white hair
                  Does laugh away care,
                  Sitting under the oak,
                  Among the old folk,
                  They laugh at our play,
                  And soon they all say.
                  ‘Such, such were the joys.
                  When we all girls & boys,
                  In our youth-time were seen,
                  On the Ecchoing Green.’

                  Till the little ones weary
                  No more can be merry
                  The sun does descend,
                  And our sports have an end:
                  Round the laps of their mothers,
                  Many sisters and brothers,
                  Like birds in their nest,
                  Are ready for rest;
                  And sport no more seen,
                  On the darkening Green.

                  Put yourself on fire for peak energy metabolism.

                  Ignore, judge, overcommit.

                    The Divine Image

                    To Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love
                    All pray in their distress;
                    And to these virtues of delight
                    Return their thankfulness.

                    For Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love
                    Is God, our father dear,
                    And Mercy, Pity, Peace, and Love
                    Is Man, his child and care.

                    For Mercy has a human heart,
                    Pity a human face,
                    And Love, the human form divine,
                    And Peace, the human dress.

                    Then every man, of every clime,
                    That prays in his distress,
                    Prays to the human form divine,
                    Love, Mercy, Pity, Peace.

                    And all must love the human form,
                    In heathen, Turk, or Jew;
                    Where Mercy, Love, and Pity dwell
                    There God is dwelling too.

                          William Blake inspired Peter dsazsik, especially his line bout the satanic wheat mills

                            @TayaLeaf said in William blake's work:

                            I don't think this is the simplest, but I'd say it's the cheapest and most readily available. Delphi Classics has a digital book, William Blake Complete Works, which includes a couple biographies. I'm currently reading the first biography by Irene Langridge, and she goes through a lot of his art work (maybe all of it, I'm not certain), sharing insight to each piece.
