Review: The Pickering manuscript
The Pickering manuscript by William Blake
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
It is all good, but Auguries of Innocence is transcendent genius; a page conjured up from the Book of The Human Condition as if in a vision.
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...
...Every night and every morn
Some to misery are born,
Every morn and every night
Some are born to sweet delight.
Some are born to sweet delight,
Some are born to endless night...
Indeed!
