Blake Writes

Famous quotes containing the words blake and/or writes:

    I askèd a thief to steal me a peach
    He turned up his eyes
    I ask’d a lithe lady to lie her down
    Holy & meek she cries—

    As soon as I went
    An angel came.
    He wink’d at the thief
    And smild at the dame—

    And without one word said
    Had a peach from the tree
    And still as a maid
    Enjoy’d the lady.
    —William Blake (1757–1827)

    It’s not a matter of old or new forms; a person writes without thinking about any forms, he writes because it flows freely from his soul.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
