Trembling I sit by day and night,
my friends are astonished at me,
Yet they forgive my wanderings.
I rest not from my great task!
To open the Eternal Worlds,
to open the immortal Eyes
Of Man inwards into the Worlds of Thought,
into Eternity
Ever expanding in the Bosom of God,
then Human Imagination.
O Saviour pour upon me thy Spirit of meekness and love!
Annihilate the Selfhood in me: be thou my life!
William Blake
