Tyger, Tyger. burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye.
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies.
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand, dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder, or what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat.
What dread hand? & what dread feet?
What the hammer? What the chain,
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp.
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears
And water'd heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
Tyger, Tyger burning bright,
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
(William Blake, Songs of Experience)

In the interest of promoting literary acumen,
which author commented on the basic premise of his magnum opus thus?:
everyone knows that general Custer made his last stand at the battle of wounded knee. what this book presupposes is, maybe he didn't?
has anyone heard of/seen the newest Murray/Wilson production, "Life Aquatic?"
Hey, is this kind of comment acceptable on a blog? (and penultimately,) if so, why?
and to pose a fourth and final question, at the risk of violating blog etiquette, was there any tubing during hurricane activity lately?

Rabib,
Haven't seen you since the South Chick Crick Incident. Whatever happened to you? Figured we woulda seen you afterwards at Hooters.
In response to your comments, you are on the right track... but unfortunately you blogged in the wrong place. Comments in the comments box usually are a "response" or "comment" to the material blogged. Your queries about the new Wilson/Andersen are good... in an original blog. You woulda been alright if you had mentioned something about the Tyger. If you were unsure and dull you coulda said something like, "How bout dem Bengals?"
Don't be afraid to begin a new blog if you have material for it. And I think you mighta had the material for it.
No, I haven't seen the new Andersen movie. Didn't think it was out.
Ely Cash is the answer to your query.
In terms of etiquette, you know what to do. Do it! Go!

You guys are all freakin crazy!
