such magnificent reading; such tremendous flow of vibrations...so much appreciation for your learning to do this reading and give us this gift! love, Carolyn Vance
..was Blake crazed by realizing that he was helplessly in an endlessly twisting and contorting dimension of alternating heaven and hell scenarios that can only be defined and witnessed as an unpredictable,demented mess of mayhem and chaos?
I know late..but quite the contrary. Jerusalem is the poem of life. It's holy spiritual. Greatest poem ever written. Those twisting and conforming dimensions is the war inside of you! He's actually saying you are the source of all things.
To understand Blake you have feel after it. Intellectually it will make no sense. If you relax, and just take the information in without analyzing the truth of the poem will gradually start to appear.
Such a magnificent poem - but I must admit I disagree with the feelings of most commentators who love the reading presented here. To me it is too artificially emotional, trying too hard to make a difficult text approachable - and in the process losing the MUSIC I hear in Blake’s text, and which just needs to be left alone to resonate and in my opinion is being destroyed by “over-acting”. It’s a matter of taste of course, but I hear it very very differently - more exalted, more incantatory, more hymnic, more sung, less acted. Ah, imagine it read by Dylan Thomas!
I def see how this is true for someone already familiar with Blake's work, maybe the act of dramatization (in this prayerful way) doesn't lend to the objective/rational tune of the poem. Stylization can be tedious to sift through, especially with places and numbers. I personally haven't heard this poem before, it's my first time hearing it. The dramatization helped me make out the different personalities and motives hidden between the intertwining voices of the specters and sub-specters, etc. It made it easier to understand the poem through audio, I'm not an audiobook person, I'd be dulled with the lack of drama lol. Cheers!
Excellent reading of my favorite poet William Blake

Tim Bruce should redo all the other Blake readings on this channel, the female ones are uniformly terrible.
