Quote of the Day (William Blake, on ‘Fetters for the Mind’)



“Deceit to secrecy confin'd,
 Lawful, cautious and refin'd;
 To anything but interest blind,
 And forges fetters for the mind.” —English poet, painter and printmaker William Blake (1757-1827), Gnomic Verses, from The Notebook of William Blake

The great Romantic poet William Blake was born in the Soho section of London, England, 260 years ago today.
