And death shall have no dominion.
Dead man naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and the clean bones gone,
They shall have stars at elbow and foot;
Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion.
And death shall have no dominion.
Under the windings of the sea
They lying long shall not die windily;
Twisting on racks when sinews give way,
Strapped to a wheel, yet they shall not break;
Faith in their hands shall snap in two,
And the unicorn evils run them through;
Split all ends up they shan't crack;
And death shall have no dominion.
And death shall have no dominion.
No more may gulls cry at their ears
Or waves break loud on the seashores;
Where blew a flower may a flower no more
Lift its head to the blows of the rain;
Though they be mad and dead as nails,
Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
And death shall have no dominion.

The Tiger
TIGER, tiger, burning bright | |||||||||
In the forests of the night, | |||||||||
What immortal hand or eye | |||||||||
Could frame thy fearful symmetry? | |||||||||
In what distant deeps or skies | 5 | ||||||||
Burnt the fire of thine eyes? | |||||||||
On what wings dare he aspire? | |||||||||
What the hand dare seize the fire? | |||||||||
And what shoulder and what art | |||||||||
Could twist the sinews of thy heart? | 10 | ||||||||
And when thy heart began to beat, | |||||||||
What dread hand and what dread feet? | |||||||||
What the hammer? what the chain? | |||||||||
In what furnace was thy brain? | |||||||||
What the anvil? What dread grasp | 15 | ||||||||
Dare its deadly terrors clasp? | |||||||||
When the stars threw down their spears, | |||||||||
And water'd heaven with their tears, | |||||||||
Did He smile His work to see? | |||||||||
Did He who made the lamb make thee? | 20 | ||||||||
Tiger, tiger, burning bright | |||||||||
In the forests of the night, | |||||||||
What immortal hand or eye | |||||||||
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry? | William Blake. 1757–1827 |

Unexpected connection_V
Bekenstein's topical overview "A Tale of Two Entropies" describes
potentially profound implications of Wheeler's trend, in part by noting a
previously unexpected connection between the world of information theory
and classical physics. This connection was first described shortly
after the seminal 1948 papers of American applied mathematician Claude E. Shannon introduced today's most widely used measure of information content, now known as Shannon entropy.
As an objective measure of the quantity of information, Shannon entropy
has been enormously useful, as the design of all modern communications
and data storage devices, from cellular phones to modems to hard disk drives and DVDs, rely on Shannon entropy.
In thermodynamics (the branch of physics dealing with heat), entropy is popularly described as a measure of the "disorder" in a physical system of matter and energy. In 1877 Austrian physicist Ludwig Boltzmann described it more precisely in terms of the number of distinct microscopic states that the particles composing a macroscopic "chunk" of matter could be in while still looking like the same macroscopic "chunk". As an example, for the air in a room, its thermodynamic entropy would equal the logarithm of the count of all the ways that the individual gas molecules could be distributed in the room, and all the ways they could be moving. wiki
