The here and after : The smile (from Strangers)

So here we are 
...
With kisses and curses, dripped in laughter
Happily, happily, would I disappear

There is a Smile of love

And there is a Smile of Deceit

And there is s Smile of Smiles

In which these two Smiles meet.

And there is a Frown of Hate,

And there is a Frown of Disdain,

And there is a Frown of Frowns

Which you strive to forget in vain ;

For it sticks in the Heart's deep Core

And it sitcks in the deep Back bone,

And no Smile that ever was smiled,

But only one Smile alone,

That betwixt the Cradle and Grave

It only one smil'd can be ;

But when it once is Smil'd,

There's and end to all Misery.

_ William Blake, The Smile
