'A rolling stone is ever bare of moss' 1821

'A rolling stone is ever bare of moss' is a wood engraving by William Blake created in 1821. It depicts a single figure pushing a large roller across a path, likely representing the act of rolling down moss from a lawn or path. The simple design and stark contrasts of the black and white engraving are characteristic of Blake's style. This print, like many of Blake's works, can be viewed as both a literal representation of the proverb and an allegory for the nature of change and movement.
