About This Quote

The image of a tree is very beautiful and peaceful to look at. The sight of a tree is a calming experience. This quote from William Blake is so perfect for this because it shows how peaceful and calm the universe is, and how the universe has been created in such a way that it can support all life. In this quote, he also shows how trees have been given the power to bear the weight of the universe on their spiritual veins. That is why trees live peacefully and can live any where in the universe.
