Blake Songs

Famous quotes containing the words blake and/or songs:

    We are led to Believe a Lie
    When we see not Thro’ the Eye
    —William Blake (1757–1827)

    And songs climb out of the flames of the near campfires,
    Pale, pastel things exquisite in their frailness
    With a note or two to indicate it isn’t lost,
    On them at least. The songs decorate our notion of the world
    And mark its limits, like a frieze of soap-bubbles.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
