1 " And all the arts of life they changd into the arts of deathThe hour glass contemnd because its simple workmanshipWas as the workmanship of the plowman & the water wheelThat raises water into Cisterns broken & burnd in fireBecause its workmanship was like the workmanship of the ShepherdAnd in their stead intricate wheels invented Wheel without wheelTo perplex youth in their outgoings & to bind to laboursOf day & night the myriads of Eternity. that they might fileAnd polish brass & iron hour after hour laborious workmanshipKept ignorant of the use that they might spend the days of wisdomIn sorrowful drudgery to obtain a scanty pittance of breadIn ignorance to view a small portion & think that AllAnd call it Demonstration blind to all the simple rules of life "
― William Blake ,
