William Blake's Auguries of Innocence, plus an Interpretation

This morning, after reading a LINE message sent by my friend Annie, the first four lines of William Blake's Auguries of Innocence crawled into my mind:

"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."

To review this poem, I then surfed the Net and found the whole poem. After reading it twice, I looked for information about it. I was happy to come across the following website, at which the poem itself is presented and introduced as a whole. What's most impressive, the poem is interpreted line by line.

A Passage from the Book the time keeper

I'm reading a book by Mitch Albom, "the time keeper." A passage on page 8 tickles my heart.

"Try to imagie a life without timekeeping.

You probably can't. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car. You have a scchedule, a calendar, a tie for dinner or a movie.
