E.e. CummingsI thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.
About This Quote
William Blake said, "I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes." William Blake's poem "The Lark Ascending" was written in 1804 during an illness that lasted several months. The poem was his first attempt at writing poetry. He got the inspiration to write the poem after seeing a lark fly up into the sky. He wanted to praise God for giving him life because he believed that life was not granted to everyone.
