ENERGY IS ETERNAL DELIGHT.
Energy is the only life and is from the Body and Reason is the bound or outward circumference of Energy.
(William Blake)
The purest delight of energy is its elusiveness.
(John H. Lienhard)

Energy is pure delight, wrote William Blake. But for me the purest delight of energy is its elusiveness. Ask the dictionary what energy is. It says it’s “the capacity to do work.” Then it tells you work is a transference of energy. The technical literature takes you around the same circle. For energy is a primary concept, like force or space. We cannot define it. We can only compare experience and then try to agree upon that experience (John H. Lienhard 1988-98).
