Quote by William Blake
Nature in darkness groans and men are bound to sullen contemplatio

Nature in darkness groans and men are bound to sullen contemplation in the night: restless they turn on beds of sorrow; in their inmost brain feeling the crushing wheels, they rise, they write the bitter words of stern philosophy and knead the bread of knowledge with tears and groans. – William Blake

Distorts the heavens from pole to pole
And leads you to believe a lie
When you see with, not through, the eye. – William Blake
