LOVE'S SECRET Never seek to tell thy love, Love that never told can be For the gentle wind doth move Silently, invisibly. I told my love, I told my love, I told her all my heart, Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears. Ah! she did depart! Soon after she was gone from me, A traveller came by, Silently, invisibly: He took her with a sigh.
William Blake

Where others see but the dawn coming over the hill, I see the soul of God shouting for joy.

The apple tree never asks the beech how he shall grow, nor the lion, the horse, how he shall take his prey.
William Blake
Image
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.
