Quote by William Blake, The Everlasting G

This life's dim windows of the soulDistorts the heavens from pole to poleAnd leads you to believe a lieWhen you see with, not through, the eye.

Summary

This quote suggests that the limited perception and understanding of human beings can distort their view of reality. The "dim windows of the soul" allude to our narrow perspective, which hinders us from truly grasping the vastness of the world. The line "leads you to believe a lie" implies that we often mistake our limited perception for the ultimate truth, failing to see beyond what is immediately apparent. It encourages us to not just rely on our eyes, but to see beyond the superficial and perceive the deeper truths that lie beneath the surface.

You know, if you look back in the 1930s, the money went to infrastructure. The bridges, the municipal buildings, the roads, those were all built with stimulus money spent on infrastructure. This stimulus bill has fundamentally gone, started out with a $500 rebate check, remember. That went to buy flat-screen TVs made in China.

If I have to choose between an omnipotent God who leaves the world in this condition, and a God who has only a little bit of power but really cares and tries to make things better, I'll take you every time. Go on playing God, Hyrum. You're not bad at it. Sometimes you kind of get it right.

Spring and Fall: To a Young ChildMÃ¡rgarÃ©t, are you grÃevingOver Goldengrove unleaving?LeÃ¡ves, lÃke the things of man, youWith your fresh thoughts care for, can you?Ah! Ã¡s the heart grows olderIt will come to such sights colderBy and by, nor spare a sighThough worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie;And yet you wÃll weep and know why.Now no matter, child, the name:SÃ³rrow's sprÃngs Ã¡re the same.Nor mouth had, no nor mind, expressedWhat heart heard of, ghost guessed:It Ãs the blight man was born for,It is Margaret you mourn for.
