Poetry In Motion

Seen on a STAR LRT on the way to Plaza Rakyat, approximately 9.55 am today (since I AM on leave, and was sending my brother to the bus station). I have no idea if this is what they intended when deciding to adorn the walls of our transport system with poems, but for a moment I was lost in Blake, and in the comforting arms of old friend mistress Memory (nevermind the creaking of the train, yeah?).

Love's Secret

Never seek to tell thy love,
Love that never told can be;
For the gentle wind does move
Silently, invisibly.

I told my love, I told my love,
I told her all my heart;
Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears,
Ah! she did depart!

Soon as she was gone from me,
A traveler came by,
Silently, invisibly
He took her with a sigh.

-William Blake
