About this Quote

This quote by William Blake talks to the concept that delight should not be kept as well securely, as it can be short lived and also can be ruined if it is not allowed to relocate easily. Instead, one need to embrace delight as it reoccurs, and not try to maintain it for also lengthy. This is because happiness is a part of life, as well as if it is not enabled to relocate easily, it can be lost. By embracing delight as it reoccurs, one can live in a state of eternal bliss, as if they are staying in the dawn of infinity. This quote motivates us to be open to pleasure and to not hesitate to let it go, as it will always come back in some type. By allowing pleasure to move easily, we can live in a state of everlasting bliss and pleasure.
