Sweet Delight, Endless Night - William Blake
"every night and every morn,
some to misery are born.
every morn and every night,
some are born to sweet delight.
some are born to sweet delight,
some are born to endless night."
William Blake.
Literature and TOK help us join the dots between different areas of knowledge and I hope you enjoy this piece of music inspired by a poem written long ago. William Blake still inspires many today.
