Eternity by William Blake, as a reminder

He who binds to himself a joy
Does a winged life destroy
He who kisses the joy as it flies
Lives in eternity's sunrise
-William Blake

A reminder of the ephemeral, flowing nature of life, and not to cling too tightly to anything or anyone--a recipe for suffering--but rather enjoy them while we have them, and realizing nothing lasts forever.
