To Nobodaddy

Love to faults is always blind,
Always is to joy inclin'd,
Lawless, wing'd & unconfin'd,
And breaks all chains from every mind.

Deceit to secresy confin'd
Lawful, cautious & refin'd
To every thing but interest blind,
And forges fetters for the mind.

by William Blake (1757-1827) , "Love to faults is always blind"
