I wander thro' each charter'd street, Near where the charter'd Thames does flow, And mark in every face I meet, Marks of weakness, marks of woe. 4 In every cry of every Man, In every Infant’s cry of fear, In every voice: in every ban, The mind-forg'd manacles I hear. 8 How the Chimney-sweeper's cry Every black'ning Church appalls, And the hapless Soldier's sigh Runs in blood down Palace walls. 12 But most, thro' midnight streets I hear How the youthful Harlot's curse Blasts the new born Infant's tear, And blights with plagues the Marriage hearse. 16

I'm on a William Blake kick rn. Just discovered this and I have to say I love how Idris reads it

"And the hapless Soldier's sigh Runs in blood down Palace walls." Such a powerful image that reminds me of Blake's other brilliant class-conscious observation on war: "The priest loves war, and the soldier peace." The manacles are forged by private property

This is one of my favourite poems, and Idris Elba has one of the best voices on the planet.

Fark's sake, this is absolute crap! No sense of what the poem is saying. He might as well be reading the take-away menu from the local Chinese!
