Auguries of Innocence is the first book of poetry from Patti Smith in more than a decade. It marks a major accomplishment from a poet and performer who has inscribed her vision of our world in powerful anthems, ballads, and lyrics. In this intimate and searing collection of poems, Smith joins in that great tradition of troubadours, journeymen, wordsmiths, and artists who respond to the world around them in fresh and original language. Her influences are eclectic and striking: Blake, Rimbaud, Picasso, Arbus, and Johnny Appleseed. Smith is an American original; her poems are oracles for our times.

To see a World in a Grain of Sand

Summery white ambergris, fresh peaches and a diaphanous bouquet of early fall florals - sweet clematis accord; orange jessamine; choisya; and parijat; and pale cashmere.To see a world in a grain of sandAnd a heaven in a wild flower,Hold infinity in the palm of your handAnd eternity in an hour.A robin redbreast in a cagePuts all heaven in a rage.A dove-house filled with doves and pigeonsShudders hell through all its regions.A dog starved at his master's gatePredicts the ruin of the state.A horse misused upon the roadCalls to heaven for human blood.Each outcry of the hunted hareA fibre from the brain does tear.A skylark wounded in the wing,A cherubim does cease to sing.The game-cock clipped and armed for fightDoes the rising sun affright.Every wolf's and lion's howlRaises from hell a human soul.The wild deer wandering here and thereKeeps the human soul from care.The lamb misused breeds public strife,And yet forgives the butcher's knife.The bat that flits at close of eveHas left the brain that won't believe.The owl that calls upon the nightSpeaks the unbeliever's fright.He who shall hurt the little wrenShall never be beloved by men.-- William BlakeBriton Rivière - Aphrodite 1902

Dit groot en mooi vogelbad uit geglazuurd en gekleurd keramiek is zowel visueel aantrekkelijk als functioneel voor de vogels in je tuin, die er zich maar al te graag in zullen komen wassen of drinken. Bovendien zijn de zijkanten onbehandeld en is de waterschaal zelf geribbeld, om extra grip te bieden aan de vogels.De rand is bedrukt met de eerste strofe uit "Auguries of Innocence" van William Blake (Britse schijver uit de 18e eeuw): "To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wildflower, hold infinity in the palm of your hand, and eternity in an hour..."Drie keramieken voetjes in dezelfde kleur als het bad kunnen onder de schaal worden geplaatst zodat de schaal een 12 tal cm boven de grond staat. Zo kan je de schaal ook op een tuinmuurtje plaatsen.Kies een plaats die goed zichtbaar is voor vogels in andere delen van de tuin, maar toch dicht bij struiken of bomen.

The edge of the bird bath is impressed with the verse: "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". No doubt the birds will be impress

When William Blake (1757-1827) wrote his Auguries of Innocence he was, in addition to writing as a poet, speaking as the Prophet of Imagination. To Blake ‘imagination’ wasn’t the creation of something ‘unreal’ or fictitious that we may associate with the …
