'The Tyger' by William Blake (poem only)
Nigel Planer reads the poem βThe Tygerβ by William Blake.
As Nigel rides on a tube train his journey is interwoven with images of a tiger. Together they reinforce the perspective that the creation of the tiger is physical, laborious and a deliberate kind of making. The images emphasise the awesome physical presence of the tiger and precludes the idea that such a creation could have been in any way accidentally or haphazardly produced.
