A Double Vision
Credenza
“What to others a triffle appears
fills me full of smiles or tears
For double vision my Eyes do see
And a double vision is always with me
With my inward Eye ‘tis an old Man grey
With my outwards a Thistle across my way…
…May God us keep
From Single vision & Newton’s sleep.”
- William Blake, letter to Thomas Butts
22nd of November 1802
