    My favo­rite poem, Hugh. This car­toon is a remar­ka­ble tri­bute to a great work.

    Must agree, not my all-time favo­rite from Blake (“The Little Vaga­bond” always makes me smile), but I love seeing peo­ple on the inter­nets who also res­pect clas­sic work.
    Very cool.

  3. William Blake. Kic­king serious ass in Wes­tern lite­ra­ture since late 1770s.

    A double-edged homage to the great poet AND print-maker!

    This remi­ded me of the appea­rance of the Tyger poem in the book “Five Smooth Sto­nes” by Ann Fairbairn…

    My friends and I used to do voice work in our thea­ter workshop using this poem, so it is dear to my heart and your visual makes it even more power­ful. Thank you so much !

    I love this poem and this peice of art so much, that I set it as my back­ground pic­ture on both lap­top and exter­nal moni­tor. Dou­ble gun — dou­ble fun!
    (although I had to set back­ground to flip black and white so it has white let­ters on black to fit to my desk­top http://img231.imageshack.us/img231/8029/burningbrightdesktop.jpg)
