William Blake on Joy

“Man was made for joy and woe, And when this we rightly know Through the world we safely go.”

“He who binds to himself a joy Does the wingèd life destroy; But he who kisses the joy as it flies Lives in eternity's sunrise.”

“Love to faults is always blind, Always is to joys inclined, Lawless, winged, and unconfined, And breaks all chains from every mind.”
