does thy life destroy

it came to pass that three hours of my labor on friday involved me hooking up a dvd player to a big screen tv in a lounge with overstuffed leather chairs, then watching the movie Educating Rita with a student, eating Wheat Thins. Rita is a hairdresser and she decides to study poetry with a private tutor. They have a to read a poem by William Blake, and Rita's husband leaves her:

O Rose, thou art sick.
The invisible worm,
That flies in the night
In the howling storm:

Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy:
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.
