“Proverbs of Hell” From “The Marriage of Heaven and Hell” by William Blake ( Read more... )

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.

A Divine Image

The Human Form a fiery Forge,
The Human Face a Furnace seal'd
The Human Heart its hungry Gorge.

- William Blake
