The Fly


The Fly

Little Fly
Thy summers play,
My thoughtless hand
Has brush'd away.

Am not I
A fly like thee?
Or art not thou
A man like me?

For I dance
And drink and sing:
Till some blind hand
Shall brush my wing.

If thought is life
And strength and breath:
And the want
Of thought is death;

Then am I
A happy fly,
If I live,
Or if I die

William Blake

Ciao, ci fai leggere un grande che anche nelle piccole cose vede il riflesso della vita, il suo volo libero... Pure qui è appena passato mezzo diluvio, na cosa da nn credere. E... anch'io 'sento' meglio il 1° venice waterc! Un abbraccio.
