Famous quotes containing the words blind and/or blake:

    Gold light in blind love does not distinguish
    one surface from another, the savor
    is the same to its tongue, the fluted
    cylinder of a new ashcan a dazzling silver,
    the smooth flesh of screaming children a quietness, it is all
    a jubilance....
    Denise Levertov (b. 1923)

    Bring me an axe and spade,
    Bring me a winding-sheet;
    When I my grave have made
    Let winds and tempests beat:
    Then down I’ll lie as cold as clay.
    True love doth pass away!
    —William Blake (1757–1827)
