Auguries of Innocence

I found this poem written in the terriblest handwriting ever which belonged to the most beautiful person ever...

Crisp brown paper from ages of sitting straight backed in the book, writing in black ink from a fountain pen that always stained his pocket...It was used as a bookmark... to a book he would never read again...

I lost the paper. And the person. The words stay on...

To see a World in a Grain of Sand...




And heaven in a wild flower...




Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand...





And Eternity in an hour...





William Blake
Auguries of Innocence

To all: I am pretty anti social today. Well- you'll get a better idea by the time you finish reading this...

Vinod Cheta: I wish you had met him... talked to him and known him yourself...

Manu: You could have said a few nice lines about William Blake too!

Arvind: I showed you the snap! Soup.

Illusionist: Change your name. Let me begin disillusioning you...

Poornima- female. Take my word.

നാളെ ആരെങ്ങിലും ആവുമൊ എന്നും അറിയില്ല. പക്ഷെ ഒന്നറിയാം. രാക്കിളികള്‍ പോലും ഉറക്കം തൂങ്ങുന്ന ഈ രാവില്‍ നിന്റെ ബ്ലോഗ്ഗുകള്‍ എന്റെ മനസ്സില്‍ ഒരു വേദനയകുന്നു.
