Joy Fantastic

Famous quotes containing the words joy and/or fantastic:

“When I from black and he from white cloud free,
And round the tent of Godlike lambs we joy,

I’ll shade him from the heat till he can bear
To lean in joy upon our father’s knee;
And then I’ll stand and stroke his silver hair,
And be like him, and he will then love me.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
