Oops!

The William Blake poem recited in the Dangerous Knowledge BBC program was not "Infinity" (that's what Cantor was so concerned about). It was "Auguries of Innocence." The passage used in the program (and the one "borrowed" by Sting) was:

"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."

It's a beautiful poem.

Cheers,
Brad
