To see a World in A Grain of Sand
By: William Blake
To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour
This poem is a very powerful piece of literature. This is only the first four lines of the whole poem, however it is the lines that set up the poem and have the most meaning. When you picture the world in a grain of sand, you take something that is huge and shrink it to something extremely small. The earth is extremely small compared to most things in space. This poem revolves around the idea that there is a greater truth to little things. I chose to post this poem because it is so short yet so powerful and almost astonishes you to picture the world in a grain of sand.
