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?

Ezra Pound·1885–1972
e sped, my Canzon, through the bitter air!To him who speaketh words as fair as these,Say that I also know the "Yearly Slain." CANZON: THE SPEAR I 'Tis the clear light of love I praiseThat steadfast gloweth o'er deep waters,A clarity that gleams always.Though man's soul pass through troubled waters,Strange ways to him are openèd.To shore the beaten ship is spedIf only love of light give aid.
