hide and sheep: April 2012

Saturday

Everyone needs them.

Hope yours are as cool as mine!

Wednesday

Midweek madness

It's Wednesday.
I have three assignments for Monday.
I haven't finished any.
This is exactly how my head feels.

The library is a-calling!

It was my sister's graduation last week. I didn't go, I was too busy working on my own law degree.
But I did go for the celebratory dinner for it- at Asoka.
What an amazing place, for an amazing person.

Here's her favourite poem to mark the occasion, by William Blake:

TIGER, tiger, burning bright 
In the forests of the night, 
What immortal hand or eye 
Could frame thy fearful symmetry? 
 
In what distant deeps or skies         5
Burnt the fire of thine eyes? 
On what wings dare he aspire? 
What the hand dare seize the fire? 
 
And what shoulder and what art 
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?  10
And when thy heart began to beat, 
What dread hand and what dread feet? 
 
What the hammer? what the chain? 
In what furnace was thy brain? 
What the anvil? What dread grasp  15
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?  20
 
Tiger, tiger, burning bright 
In the forests of the night, 
What immortal hand or eye 
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
