    Honour but an empty bubble.

    Fighting still, and still destroying;
    If the world be worth thy winning,
    Think, O think it worth enjoying.
    Lovely Thais sits beside thee,
    Take the good the Gods provide thee.’

    And saw what I never had seen:

    Where I used to play on the green.
    And the gates of this Chapel were shut,
    And ‘Thou shalt not’ writ over the door;
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    The garden flew round with the angel,
    The angel flew round with the clouds,
    And the clouds flew round and the clouds few round
    And the clouds flew round with the clouds.
