#November 28, 1757
#OTD William Blake, #English #Poet, born.

The #Poison #Tree is about repressed #Anger & how anger can be #Cultivated.

I was #Angry with my #Foe;
I told it #Not, my #Wrath did #Grow.
And I watered it in #Fears,
Night & Morning with my #Tears.

And it #Grew both Day & Night,
Till it bore an #Apple bright;
& my #Foe beheld it #Shine,
& he knew that it was #Mine,

In the morning glad I see
My Foe outstretched beneath the Tree.
