Auguries of Innocence is a poem written by William Blake in 1803 (but not published until 1863). It contains a series of paradoxes which speak of innocence juxtaposed with evil and corruption. The poem is 132 lines and has been published with and without breaks that divide the poem into stanzas.
The lines “Some are born to sweet delight, Some are born to endless night” are quoted by Jim Morrison in the song End of the Night by The Doors in their debut album.
A 1985 compilation album of music by Nick Drake is titled Heaven in a Wild Flower, taken from the second line of the poem.
The same lines were used by Agatha Christie in the 1967 novel Endless Night.
Also, the line “To see the world in a grain of sand, And heaven in a wild flower, To hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour” are in the script for the movie, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.
