Is it sometimes best not to confess one‘s love but to keep it a secret? In this poem Blake explains why sometimes it‘s better to have loved and kept quiet than to tell your affections. 🤷♀️

#AugustABC #Innocence I came to William Blake through Allen Ginsberg. His obsession with the poet is well known .I treasure my Doubleday edition of Blake , I couldn‘t find it used and purchased it when I really wasn‘t making much money.That makes the fact that I kept it so long even sweeter.
Just found out about the wonderful #PoetryMatters challenge by @LazyDays 💜 I'm going to try to participate ... as much as I can 😁 Today's (Aug 2) prompt is #smile and this one by William Blake fits the bill.
Background is his painting Glad Day or The Dance of Albion (1794).
Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
