Music inspired by classic literature/poems/art: William Blake
#5
^Bring ‘em on!

Dylan’s “Every Grain of Sand” is said to have been inspired by Blake’s “Auguries of Innocence” which contains the lines

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.

It appears on BD’s Shot of Love and has been covered by artists from here to eternity. I like Emmylou’s version …
