Is it Canadian hip-hop star Drake, sad English folk-singer Nick Drake, or Romantic poet William Blake? This might be harder than you think.

Drake, Drake, Or Blake?

"I'm seeing it clearer / The season is nearer / And still I must change"

Those are the life-changing lyrics of this man, Drake.

Who wrote this?

"If thought is life / And strength and breath / And the want / Of thought is death"

Those are the words of the man who also painted this, William Blake.

"Now I'm weaker than the palest blue / Oh, so weak in this need for you"

Reclusive gentleman Nick Drake wrote that.

"Little lamb / Here I am / Come and lick"

That's William Blake, everyone! 

"I've been a long time that I'm waiting / Been a long time that I'm blown"

It was Nick Drake who was blown.

Who wrote this? 

"Pain hurts like a cut from a beautiful knife."

Those could only be the ruminations of one Mr. Drake.

"I can't even find / The perfect brush so I can paint / What's going through my mind / Racing against myself, but I'm a couple steps behind."

This guy, Drake, again.

"Reasoning upon its own dark fiction / In doubt which is self-contradiction"

Those lines were penned by none other than William Blake.

"And the people 'round your head / Who say everything's been said / And the movement in your brain / Sends you out into the rain"

Straight from depressed songwriter Nick Drake.

"The best wine is the oldest, the best water the newest." 

The wisdom of William Blake, y'all.

"When all is said and done, more is always said than done."

This dude Drake wrote those lyrics.

"Do you curse where you come from? / Do you swear in the night? / Will it mean much to you / If I treat you right?"

That wisdom was dropped by Nick Drake.

"Forgotten while you're here / Remembered for a while / A much updated ruin / From a much outdated style"

Nick Drake again!

"May your neighbors respect you / Trouble neglect you, angels protect you / And heaven accept you"

It's Drake! 

"A truth that's told with bad intent / Beats all the lies you can invent."

It was William Blake that wrote that.
