we all know the amazing poem written by an equally amazing person called William Blake
His poem goes something like this :
To SEE the world in a grain of sand
and heaven in a wild flower
to hold infinity in the palm of my hand
and eternity in an hour
This is one of the most profound poems I have ever read. This is what he wishes to be able to see and experience. This poem does NOT end there as is popularly beleved but really goes on a long way with similar metaphors but the first 4 lines are my favourites.
But if William Blake was doing his phd in my lab.. what would he see ?
I think it would something like this
To see my future in a set of bands
and hope for an uninterrupted supply of power
To behold my CBB stained hands
and wish for good results in one hour
To hope that the admin people have done,
completed their own share of work
To wish that I don't have to run
to get away from by boss's quirk
To not add the wrong enzyme in the hour of need
but still do and have to face the fact alone
to be horrified at my guilty deed
a mistake that is hard to atone
To wish that people could understand
the importance of computation
and that not only wet work is grand
to sigh in my mounting frustration
to wish and dream of papers printed
to be acclaimed by the community
to desperately want this degree granted
to gain from here eternal immunity...
:D
