William Blake Quote

As the caterpillar chooses the fairest leaves to lay her eggs on, so the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys.


The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1793)


As the caterpillar chooses the fairest leaves to lay her eggs on, so the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys.

As the caterpillar chooses the fairest leaves to lay her eggs on, so the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys.

As the caterpillar chooses the fairest leaves to lay her eggs on, so the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys.

As the caterpillar chooses the fairest leaves to lay her eggs on, so the priest lays his curse on the fairest joys.
