"One sand and one world, one flower and one paradise. Infinity is placed in the palm of your hand, and a moment becomes eternity." This is translated by Xu Zhimo from the long poem "The Language of Innocence" by the British romantic poet William Blake. ("Auguries of Innocence") the first four sentences.

The original text is as follows:

To see a world in a grain of sand

And a heaven in a wild flower,

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand

And eternity in an hour.

The world can be seen in a grain of sand, and heaven can be seen in a wild flower.

Infinity holds in the palm of your hand,

A moment is eternity.
