Eternity
By William Blake

He who binds to himself a joy
Does the wingèd life destroy;
But he who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity’s sunrise.


Eternidad

Aquel que ata a sí mismo un gozo,
destruye la vida alada;
pero quien besa al gozo mientras éste vuela,
vive en el amanecer de la eternidad.
