Auguries of Innocence and Other Lyric Poems

He who binds to himself a joy Does the winged life destroy; But he who kisses the joy as it flies Lives in eternity's sun rise. This book is for those who are already familiar with Blake. Many of the poems in this edition were never published in his lifetime, but were found in his notebooks after his death. Every aspect of Blake is here: evocative poems celebrating the English countryside; gnomic, mysterious poems which hint at his beliefs; poems about thwarted, repressed love, and angry, bitter diatribes against those in authority.
