Every William Blake poem quoted in Devil May Cry 5
These have been double-checked to the best of my ability, but if anyone catches any mistakes, or any quotes I missed, do let me know! I had an absolute ball putting this together. Most are of course quoted by V, but Vergil gets a word in as well.
Prologue
“And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright.”
-on-screen narration, quoting A Poison Tree
Mission 2
“I curse my stars in bitter grief and woe,
That made my love so high and me, so low.”
-V, quoting When early morn walks forth in sober grey
“Little wanderer, hie thee home!”
-V, quoting A Dream
Mission 4
“He who desires but act not, breeds pestilence.”
-V, quoting Proverbs of Hell
“As the air to a bird, or the sea to a fish, so is contempt to the contemptible.”
-V, quoting Proverbs of Hell
“If the fool would persist in his folly, he would become wise.”
-V, quoting Proverbs of Hell
“The cut worm forgives the plow.”
-V, quoting Proverbs of Hell
Mission 5
“One thought fills immensity...”
-V, quoting Proverbs of Hell
“The hours of folly are measured by the clock, but of wisdom: no clock can measure.”
-V, quoting Proverbs of Hell
Mission 9
“I have no name; I am but two days old…”
-V, quoting Infant Joy
Mission 12
“…heavy chain, that does freeze my bones around!”
-Vergil, quoting Earth’s Answer
Mission 14
“But the following Contraries to these are True.”
-V, quoting The Voice of the Devil
Mission 17
“While thy branches mix with mine,
and our roots together join.”
-V, quoting Love and Harmony
Charging V's Devil Trigger
“To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.”
-V, quoting Auguries of Innocence
“The Angel that presided ‘oer my birth
Said: “Little creature formed of joy and mirth,
Go love without the help of any Thing on Earth.””
-V, quoting The Angel that presided ‘oer my birth
The name for Urizen also comes from Blake’s work!

so thrice dante has killed him. first, above temen-ni-gru. then, at mallet island.
and now a third time. it is the ultimate homicide: he has slaughtered vergil’s character, his very spirit.
