William Blake Quotations

Sometimes greatness is achieved, not during a lifetime of effort, but after it. During his lifetime, William Blake was regarded as idiosyncratic and deranged. Blake's views on religion sharply deviated from convention. Though Blake did not receive due recognition in his life, he was posthumously acclaimed as a glorious luminary. William Blake's famous poems like "A Poison Tree", "Human Abstract", and "The Book of Thel", amongst many others, make him a distinguished poet.
