Famous quotes containing the words blake and/or writes:
“Nature in darkness groans
And men are bound to sullen contemplation in the night:
Restless they turn on beds of sorrow; in their inmost brain
Feeling the crushing wheels, they rise, they write the bitter words
Of stern philosophy & knead the bread of knowledge with tears & groans.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“The whole race is a poet that writes down
The eccentric propositions of its fate.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
