William BlakeLove seeketh not itself to please, nor for itself hath any care, but for another gives its ease, and builds a Heaven in Hell's despair. Man has no Body distinct from his Soul; for that called Body is a portion of Soul discerned by the five Senses, the chief inlets of Soul in this age. No bird soars too high, if he soars with his own wings. One thought fills immensity. Opposition is true friendship. Poetry fettered, fetters the human race. Nations are destroyed or flourish in proportion as their poetry, painting, and music are destroyed or flourish. Prisons are built with stones of law, brothels with bricks of religion. Prudence is a rich, ugly, old maid courted by incapacity. Reason, or the ratio of all we have already known, is not the same that it shall be when we know more. That the Jews assumed a right exclusively to the benefits of God will be a lasting witness against them and the same will it be against Christians. |
