“The Ancient of Days” by William Blake

 

if I think it
it is
if I write it
it lives

keep your coins
you may pay me in wishbones
the wealth may be yours
but the power is mine

 

 

From my book Bohemian Scents

  13. This is absolutely fantastic, Paul. Straight to the point, poignant, powerful and, unlike so many other people and things that may have influence, over some, primarily incorruptible as well.
    By the way I had no idea that William Blake had ever painted or drawn anything quite as impressive as the image you’ve put above these lines. 👍👍
