BLAKE, William (1757-1827)
Eternity
He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy
He who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity’s sunrise…
The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way.
[“L’arbre qui fait ta joie jusqu’aux larmes, n’est pour d’autres qu’un objet vert dans le chemin“, trad. wallonica.org]
