Blake Writes

Famous quotes containing the words blake and/or writes:

    Like a fiend in a cloud
    With howling woe,
    After night I do crowd,
    And with night will go;
    —William Blake (1757–1827)

    One writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the pathology of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual. There are open wounds, shrunk sometimes to the size of a pin-prick but wounds still. The marks of suffering are more comparable to the loss of a finger, or the sight of an eye. We may not miss them, either, for one minute in a year, but if we should there is nothing to be done about it.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
