William Blake(1757 – 1827) An English poet, painter, printmaker and engraver. Largely unrecognised during his lifetime, he is now considered a seminal figure in the history of both the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age. A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees. A truth that's told with bad intent beats all the lies you can invent. Active Evil is better than Passive Good. Always be ready to speak your mind, and a base man will avoid you. Art can never exist without naked beauty displayed. Art is the tree of life. Science is the tree of death. As a man is, so he sees. As the eye is formed, such are its powers. Better murder an infant in its cradle than nurse an unacted desire. Both read the Bible day and night, but thou read black where I read white. Can I see another's woe, and not be in sorrow too? Can I see another's grief, and not seek for kind relief? |
