This video aims to bring the poems "The Tyger" and "The Lamb" of William Blake, to life. William Blake was an English poet, artist, and visionary who is considered one of the most significant figures of the Romantic era. He was born in 1757 and died in 1827.
We have carefully selected these poems from the other poems William Blake has written.
The Tyger" is a poem that explores the awe-inspiring power and beauty of the titular creature, while also delving into deeper questions about the nature of creation and the divine.
"The Lamb" is a poem by William Blake that celebrates the beauty and innocence of a young lamb, while also exploring the deeper spiritual meanings that can be associated with the creature.
The poems in this video are narrated by James Smillie (an award winning voice actor). We took care to edit the audio as perfectly as we can. It took us months of learning before we were able to edit the voice like this.
We believe that there is wisdom in these historic texts. We are very hesitant in creating video's with different moving backgrounds, because we believe it might contradict the wisdom that is displayed in the text. We hope you appreciate the effort!
