Joy is my name

William Blake | July-August 2018 (Vol. XXXI, No. 7)

I am but two days old."
What shall I call thee?
"I happy am,
Joy is my name."
Sweet joy befall thee!

To see a World in a Grain of Sand

Love seeketh not itself to please

William Blake | February 2013 (Vol. XXVI, No. 2)

Love seeketh not itself to please,
Nor for itself hath any care,
But for another gives its ease,
And builds a Heaven in Hell's despair.

To learn to bear the beams of Love

William Blake | February 2007 (Vol. XX, No. 2)

time to learn to bear the beams of Love.

Joy and woe are woven fine

William Blake | December 2005 (Vol. XVIII, No. 11)

Joy and woe are woven fine,
A clothing for the soul divine,
Under every grief and pine,
Runs a joy with silken twine.
It is right it should be so,
We were made for joy and woe,
And when this we rightly know,
Through the world we safely go.

~ by William Blake

We are made for joy and woe

William Blake | July-August 1999 (Vol. XII, No. 7)

Joy and woe are woven fine,
A clothing for the soul divine;
Under every grief and pine
Runs a joy with silken twine.
It is right it should be so;
We are made for joy and woe;
And when this we rightly know,
Through the world we safely go.

~ William Blake

To see a world in a grain of sand

William Blake | September 1998 (Vol. XI, No. 8)

To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flow,
Hold Infinity in the palms of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.
