    sunflower and stuck it at my
    side like a scepter,

- From Allen Ginsberg’s 1955 poem, “Sunflower Sutra.” Read it in its entirety here (highly recommended). Earlier in the poem he writes, “memories of Blake--my visions,”  which references one of Ginsberg’s big influences, William Blake, and Ginsberg’s reaction to first reading Blake’s 1793 poem, “Ah, Sunflower.”
