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.
Blake isn't simply urging us to appreciate small things—he's claiming that scale is an illusion, that the infinitely vast and the physically tiny are the same thing observed from different angles of consciousness. The revolutionary bit is his insistence that this vision arrives not through microscopes or philosophy, but through *perception itself*, through the quality of attention we bring to a wildflower. When you find yourself stuck in traffic noticing the particular geometry of a crack in the asphalt rather than resenting the delay, you've stumbled into what Blake means: that moment contains everything, if you're actually looking.
