[New post] Five Wise Lines from The Book of Thel by William Blake
B Gourley posted: " Can Wisdom be put in a silver rod? / Or Love in a golden bowl? from Thel's Motto I am a watery weed, / And I am very small and love to dwell in lowly vales: / So weak the gilded butterfly scarce perches on my head. / Yet I am visited fro" the !n(tro)verted yogi
Can Wisdom be put in a silver rod? / Or Love in a golden bowl?
from Thel's Motto
I am a watery weed, / And I am very small and love to dwell in lowly vales: / So weak the gilded butterfly scarce perches on my head. / Yet I am visited from heaven and he that smiles on all / Walks in the valley.
from Part I
Then if thou art the food of worms, O virgin of the skies, / How great thy use, how great thy blessing
from Part II
every thing that lives. / Lives not alone nor for itself
from Part II
Why cannot the Ear be closed to its own destruction? / Or the glistening Eye to the poison of a smile!
