A reading of the poem "The Tiger" by William Blake. I originally submitted this to www.Librivox.org but they didn't like my dramatic approach to poetry reading. So I thought I'd inflict it on you. Publc Domain.

wonderfully dramatic, and crying out for a suitably dramatic remix, which I created and posted here:

So it's dramatic. I think crazy old Bill Blake would have appreciated your version. Most folks are familiar with the poem from the way their grade school teachers read it to them; as a poem with a strong rythmic structure. The problem with that approach is that it can turn poem with strong imagery and an unsettling philosophical question into a ditty. That doesn't happen here.

He's alive! Run away!
You'll have to read "The Lamb" as well now. I also would love to hear your slightly abusive dramatic approach let loose on "Never Seek to Tell thy Love" (Love's Secret) Greetings! - WIM
