A Grain of Sand

acrylic, pen on watercolour paper, 18 x 24 inches

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.

Why?

acrylic, coloured pencil and pen on paper, 14 x 20 inches

When lovely woman stoops to folly,

And finds too late that men betray,

What charm can soothe her melancholy?

What art can wash her tears away?
