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
Randomness?
how softly it falls upon my ears to hear such gentle words
Reply:Sorry, this ain't random! It's by William Blake!

Reply:'a world in a grain of sand' can be read as a pun. telescopes and microscopes contain lenses made of glass. glass is made from sand. i doubt that it was intended by the poet, but computer chips are made from silicon, which also comes from sand. science is concerned with seeing a world in a grain of sand. alright, i know that blake was as antiscience as they come, but i still like to read it that way.
