What does it mean by eternity?

Tiptoe Through The Tulips



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.

[William Blake, Auguries of Innocence]

I love poems. But it doesn't mean that I love to spend my hours reading just poems and interpreting it because honestly, I am not brilliant enough to interpret any poems. However, after I read a cute and interesting story online (those dearest to me who share the same hobby will know what kind of stories and where can we read it online ;p ), I found this stanza which the writer used in one of the chapters intriguing. I don't know why but the last two lines from the above stanza fascinate me in an unexplained way. Oh well.

so too a sinning heart cannot enjoy worshiping Allah."

: Penang, Malaysia.
: My childhood friends during my primary school era are coming over
for one of our dear friends' wedding in Kedah.
It has been years since we last met each other.
I can't help feeling both nervous and excited at the same time.
