You are the real MVP Thank you

amazing work that i am still in awe of. Our talented music teacher back in my school days taught us the song versions of some of the poems for a musical. it was phenomenal, i am so blessed to have been a part of that cast. the hexagon theatre was sold out for all the nights we performed. such great memories. I still remember the lyrics . what a joy

[@michellehayton3449]

amazing, I love William Blake. He understood human nature and God!

[@ishmaelforester9825]

My first memory of enjoying literature is 'The Tyger.' I was five and the teacher showed us the poem then we just drew tigers.

His poetry has great meaning in terms of feelings, ideas and how he saw the world and is rich in vocabulary.

Very cool stuff, I've always been a big fan of William Blake. I've been doing a lot of readings of his poetry myself recently after finding a really nice book with not only his complete poetry but also that of John Donne.

Its good to hear a little more diversity - a male voice, but I believe most native speakers of English here, especially Literature academic readers, would be more able to reveal the several levels of Mr Blake, especially his musicality and wit... check out most classically-trained Brit actors as well...still in a league by themselves... I appreciate the efforts of the readers here, but I hope for more pros to do proper service to the great works here...

[@me67226]

I hear Jim Morrisons poems Its obvious he drew inspiration from Blakes poems.

[@mcdeadcat]

The voice discomforts me and the mic pops don't help. Thanks for having a go though.

[@MrJamyang24]

WB was enthralled by Blake's engaging verses and the beauty of his poetic forms. WB might best be described as the last of the romantics ???

[@blueorangeblossom]

I just googled this after hearing the poems read to Violins in the Gucci runway show-it just shows how a bad reader can ruin even the most poignant poetry

[@guerrillajack]

Shame on you for first discovering Blake in that way.

[@judylwbidoov4195]

Watched this video with subtitles on mute for the best experience.

[@shinmalphur2734]

Defeats the point of LISTENING to an AUDIO book, if you wanted to read william blake you could find it on the internet.

[@arielrhea9230]

thank you this ai voice is 💀💀

Killer! I usually listen to punk rock, death metal. like jumping off a cliff blindfolded and never hitting ground.

Should be an English voice reading, very grating.

[@gem2278]

This is great voice even if it is not English.

[@yeselectionwasrigged3645]

Wonder if Jim Morrison would dig this if alive

[@ShockResistor]

These poems existed long before he was born and are popular so he likely read them.

[@shaukimahomed8947]

'And did he walk upon this precious land' Was this written by Blake? Does this song refer to Jesus?

[@christianhymnspraiseplayli3259]

Yes and yes. The poem is called "Jerusalem".

[@ericandevepearson6191]

For all the naysayers, please visit librivox.org/ and record your own version of a 50 min piece of work. I can assure you that it will take you weeks if not months to complete. But, please get this person to erase this from KZbin, and replace it with your version, tout suite. Sarcasm is a lost art. Just to save those not in the know the trouble. Sarcasm is "a sharp, bitter, or cutting expression or remark; a bitter gibe or taunt". Sarcasm may employ ambivalence, although sarcasm is not necessarily ironic. Most noticeable in spoken word, sarcasm is mainly distinguished by the inflection with which it is spoken and is largely context-dependent.

[@mourningchair4890]

this has to be the worst poetry reader i have heard. sad for this person to murder such wonderful works.

[@DyaniNC]

Mourning Chair It is extremely hard to read a Blake poem , especially Auguries of Innocence, and do it justice.

[@cheayunju]

Agree, but give the attempt a break. It's harder than you think.

[@mourningchair4890]

i was able to do so while he was reading it. perhaps, i have a natural knack for it. its all timing and voice change - creating the rhythm . much love

[@angelikawinnicka1898]

....

[@zthetha]

Oh shit - not another LibriVox opus! Along with others I salute their motives but am repelled by their readers who may well be enthusiastic but have no idea how to read verse or text. The one ok performance (though initially I had dismissed it as lack lustre - perhaps my expectations are not so great now) is Joyce's Dubliners - read by an Irishman with some vitality. Wm Blake was a Londoner and if not technically a Cockney would sound interesting if read by one. The bizarre, crude and wholly inappropriate stressing of words is in this recording frankly bloody awful. If such intonation came from the lips of a five or six year old it would be charming. But from the mouth of an adult - the thought crosses my mind that the Death Sentence should be reintroduced for such an abomination.
