The Cosmos in a Cosmos
William Blake
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.
Not to get all Carl Sagan or Neil deGrasse Tyson
on you, but with so many heated discussions pro and con
about intelligent design, I'm taking a moment to think of Artistic Design.
Here is the last verse of Blake's poem.
God appears, and God is light,
To those poor souls who dwell in night;
But does a human form display
To those who dwell in realms of day.
Here is the entirety of William Blake's poem, remember, he is considered a mystic.
I see him as a caring person with a heart for the poor.
