When Blake wrote the word symmetry that follows the line of eye he portrayed it to be said like "symmitri" with the intent that the word eye and the word symmetry rhymed.
Great poem and a nightmare for translator. I'm from Poland so I'm familiar with polish transcripts, there are few and none of them even 'touched Blake's genius'.
Oh Theo, my favourite metaphysic poet and your sultry voice...a match made in some wonderfully strange vision of heaven. Even were it not for the profundity of the poem, I'd favourite this for pure aesthetic appeal :) Beautiful, beautiul work.
Stunning, an unanswered reflection on the coupling of violence and beauty in creation as a contrast to his masterful song of innocence 'The Lamb'. Despite its prolific status the power of this poem never deceases. An amazing piece by Blake wonderfully performed, thank-you 5*/fav

@MCRmyPirate
That is actually a font called theowarner. It was named after me mostly because it's modeled on my handwriting.

To everyone else, you need to read The Lamb by William Blake first for all of this to make sense.
