a new photograph every posting... and an inside line to my dreary life

Wednesday, December 28, 2005

Greetings Citizens. A lackluster day for yours truly. Cleaned house, took some photos of the 356B for the insurance agency. Drank copious amounts of coffee.
Tried calling Leah. She wasn't home. Watched the Family Guy on DVD and ate Japanese curry. Thrillsville, man.

Okay more Wm. Blake:

THE TYGER

Tyger, tyger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
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?
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
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?

Tyger, tyger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

I really am facinated by Blake's work, and this poem is one of my favorites. Did you read Red Dragon? Blake's work figures prominently into the story.
