William Blake

Does the Eagle know what is in the pit?

Or wilt thou go ask the Mole:

Can Wisdom be put in a silver rod?

Or Love in a golden bowl?

Edmund Spenser·1552–1599
onnet LXVIII MOST glorious Lord of lyfe that on this day,Didst make thy triumph ouer death and sin:and hauing harrowd hell didst bring away,captiuity thence captiue vs to win.This ioyous day, deare Lord, with ioy begin,and grant that we for whom thou didest dyebeing with thy deare blood clene washt from sin,may liue foreuer in felicity.And that thy loue we weighing worthily,may likewise loue thee for the same againe:and for thy sake that all lyke deare didst buy,with loue may one another entertayne.So let vs loue, deare loue, lyke as we ought,loue is the lesson which the Lord vs taught.
