Inspired by William Blake's "Augaries of Innocence"  (1803).

"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"
 

Illustration used: Girl Reading, Renoir, 1876
Book used: Life in Earnest.  Highlighted text: "If you love the Lord Jesus, you have every thing."
Other materials: computer hard drive, optical lens, antique spectacles, rusted metal something-or-other, chain, sandalwood essential oil

The first line of Blake's poem is applied to the insides of the spectacle lenses.  While the rusted metal do-hickey holding the specs continues to corrode away, the silicon-based products in this piece will probably outlast us all!  In fact, the small glass blob is highlighting the word "grace"... a  gift with truly eternal significance.
