Eternity     
by William Blake

He who binds to himself a joy
Does the winged life destroy
He who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sunrise

You know the ads that are in facebook? The ones by my profile that I see all the time are Wellpregnancy Childbirth, Fertility Flower, and How To Get Pregnant Quick. I'm just saying.

I want this book. Should remember to request it when it comes out: Embroidery Companion: Classic Designs for Modern Living, by Alicia Paulson.
