Men think highly of those who rise rapidly in the world; whereas nothing rises quicker than dust, straw, and feathers

Yet Blake is the man for me. -

'nothing rises quicker than dust, straw, and feathers'... is that a fact? Perhaps I am being a bit of a thickie... don’t really see the analogy... but then poetry is not my forte (don’t tell me this is not poetry... I am not THAT much of a thickie). Studied Blake once and the Tiger, Tiger poem? The industrial revolution analogy was explained... I still thought it was just a nice Tiger poem.

You can't.....enigmatic....yet, so unpredictable too! Great poet!
now... there is 'rising' and 'rising', like... if you rise on the pay scale I will look differently at you as when you rise from the roadside (where you have fallen from the bike in a puddle...) - both situations happen 'in the world' - just in case you want to develop an algorithm out if that
