Mock on, mock on, Voltaire, Rousseau; <br />Mock on, mock on; 'tis all in vain! <br />You throw the sand against the wind, <br />And the wind blows it back again. <br />And every sand becomes a gem <br />Reflected in the beams divine; <br />Blown back they blind the mocking eye, <br />But still in Israel's paths they shine. <br /> <br />The Atoms of Democritus <br />And Newton's Particles of Light <br />Are sands upon the Red Sea shore, <br />Where Israel's tents do shine so bright.<br /><br />William Blake<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mock-on-mock-on-voltaire-rousseau/
