"Now"

He who binds to himself a joy
Doth the winged life destroy.
But he who kisses the joy as it flies,
Lives in eternity's sunrise.---William Blake

  2. I'm glad you posted this William Blake poem as I had never heard it before. I especially like the phrase "eternity's sunrise."

  3. I'm happy to bring it to your notice! I've been lucky enough to have had it brought to mine maybe 30 years ago. I appreciate it more and more. By the way, it is usually titled Eternity.
