An Experiment With Allusions

To know thyself through aesthetic Turn every act into an augury, Only then you can see ‘The world in a grain of sand, Or a heaven in a wild flower'. The ‘auguries of innocence' become boundless. The eyes that appreciate the ‘Brilliant Golden Lid Covering the Truth', Aren't too far away from the Truth. ‘All the World's A stage' Each of our act presents an opportunity For its finest playing, a finer eye needed To appreciate the essence of bliss Running through it. Aesthetic is the way the Director of Life Looks at our roles in his creation. We mortals are the one touched and moved By its grief and joy. ‘Too hard for us is heaven's indifference.' Note: Few days back I was inspired to write the first sentence of this poem. Later it was forgotten. A day or two later I came across an article about Allusions and all of a sudden I was inspired to turn the above sentence into a short poem. Bellow are the Allusions that I used for my first experiment with Allusions. ‘The world in a grain of sand Or a heaven in a wild flower' Auguries Of Innocence William Blake ‘Golden lid covering the truth' Esha Upanishad All The World's A Stage Shakespeare' As You Like It' ‘Too hard for us is heaven's indifference.'
