William Blake Imagination Quotations

I feel that a Man may be happy in This World. And I know that This World Is a World of Imagination & Vision.

The imagination is not a state: it is the human existence itself.

One Power alone makes a Poet: Imagination. The Divine Vision.

Does a firm persuasion that a thing is so, make it so?" He replied, "All poets believe it does. And in ages of imagination, this firm persuasion removes mountains; but many are not capable of firm persuasion of anything.

If you cannot imagine with the mind's eye much more than you can see with the mortal eye, you have a very poor imagination indeed.

In your own bosom you bear your heaven and earth, And all you behold, though it appears without, It is within, in your imagination, Of which this world of mortality is but a shadow.

Nature has no outline. Imagination has.

Art degraded, Imagination denied.

The world of imagination is the world of eternity. It is the divine bosom into which we shall all go after death of the vegetative body.

I rest not from my great task! | To open the Eternal Worlds, | to open the immortal Eyes of Man | Inwards into the Worlds of Thought; | Into eternity, ever expanding | In the Bosom of God, | The Human Imagination

The world of imagination is the world of eternity.

Work up imagination to the state of vision.

For the Eye altering alters all; The Senses roll themselves in fear And the flat Earth becomes a Ball.
