WILLIAM BLAKE -6
Exuberance is beauty
A natural unfettered
freedom in play, exchange and passion are true forms of beauty. It also implies
that any act under a vigilant restriction cannot brim with the confidence of
freedom. Any natural spontaneous act of
human life is a beauty that reveals itself in abundance [exuberance].
Excessive sorrow
laughs. Excessive joy weeps
Perhaps this quote is
one that summarizes human reactions to emotions in life. In one’s life ‘Joy’ or
‘Sorrow’ occurs. These can at times reach extreme /intense level where upon ,
human reaction may switch ends like shedding tears by overwhelming joy or under
heavy sorrow, mind tends to shed pressure by laughter from deep sorrow . The
quote suggests that extreme stress is relieved by moving to the opposite as a
psychological effect of extreme intensity.
Opposition is true
friendship
This quote is a sound
guidance to assess friendship. It shows that true friendship tries to be honest
and realistic in expressing truth. Pointing out errors or mistakes for fear of
losing harmony does not any good to a friend. One who is keen to be honest even
if mistaken is the one who regards friendship more than what helps to sustain
cordiality.
Do what you will, this
world’s a fiction and is made up of contradiction
The quote sets
everything at rest saying “this world is a fiction: So, nothing is real,
besides being a pack of contradictions. Instead of trying to understand the
‘social perceptions’ for your actions,
simply do what you wish just to avoid conflicting suggestions by others.
You never know what is enough,
unless you know what is more than enough.
This quote is so plain
that seldom it calls for dilation or dissection. All the same it appeals by its
very spirit of knowing the limits. Simple in phrase and powerful by purpose is
the elegance of this piece.
