Tiger Tiger, Tiger, burning bright / In the forests of the night; / Dappled light on furrowed brow, / What careless loss hath man wrought now? In what distant fields or woods / Has your kind been gone for good! / Oh lost hope is not our creed, / We used our greed to do this deed! Stripes of onyx on amber strides, / We raped your kind, you can not hide! / And when thy heart lay still and dry, / Perhaps by then we learn to cry! Bullets, traps, dogs, the like, / Chased you deep into that dark night. / At times you taunted from bamboo lairs, / Places so tight a man not dare! Your kind is leaving, / tis sad our loss! / We beat our chests, / death has no boss! Stars threw down their spears on you / And water’d heaven with their tears / You lay their, dying, filled with fear! Did he who made the Lamb make thee? / Another day you shall not see. Tiger, Tiger, burning bright, / In the forests, one last night: / What immoral hand or eye, / Took your fire and made you cry? Adapted and altered by Mundy Hackett, based upon the famous poem entitled ‘The Tyger” by Sir William Blake! Save the tiger, save the planet, save those things which we wantonly destroy through our greed and incessant pursuit for domination of the natural world. The planet is a living organism, the tiger is but one example of the fire beating in it’s heart, but with each tiger lost in the wild the fire burns a little less brightly. Don’t let the fire go out, save the tiger, save the world! / / / / Part of my line promoting awareness and raising funds for endangered species globally. This is also available as cards and prints.

205 - VARIATION ON WILLIAM BLAKE'S NEBUCHADNEZZAR - DAVE EDWARDS - COLOURED PENCILS - 2008
by BLYTHARTI took this from the famous painting by William Blake of Nebuchadnezzar. In the Old testament, while boasting over his achievements, Nebuchadrezzar was humbled by God. The king lost his sanity and lived in the wild like an animal for seven years (by some considered as an attack of the madness called clinical boanthropy or alternately porphyria). After this, his sanity and position were restored. For this picture, I first drew in pencil and then did a wash or two of watercolour, before starting work on it with coloured pencils. I’d like to dedicate this piece to my late father, Elwyn Tecwyn Edwards, who made me aware of the works of William Blake. I also did a much earlier version in pen and ink if you’d like to see it.

Why art thou silent and invisible / Father of Jealousy / Why dost thou hide thyself in clouds / From every searching Eye / Why darkness and obscurity / In all thy words and laws / That none dare earth the fruit but from / The wily serpents jaws / Or is it because Secrecy / Gains females loud applause........By William Blake

Auguries of Innocence By William Blake Wax, ink and watercolour
-
In his long narrative, “Milton”, Blake describes how the author of “Paradise Lost” returned from heaven and entered Blake’s foot in the form of a comet. Afterwards, the familiar world of the five senses turned into a shoe. Blake tied the shoe and walked with the Spirit of Poetry to the City of Art. A few years later, back in the ordinary world, Blake saw a twelve-year- old girl flying down to him. He mistook the girl for one of his own muses, and invited her into his cottage to visit with him and his wife, who could also see and hear “the spirits”. The girl explained that she was actually looking for John Milton. The older poet emerged from Blake’s foot, and in an apocalyptic scene, the ordinary world was transformed along with all of human perception. / Acrylics, metallic pigment and ink

Twice was my birth foretold in Heaven, and twice a sacred vow enjoined me. Words by William Blake Acrylics and pastel
-
I dreamt a dream! What can it mean? / And that I was a maiden Queen / Guarded by an Angel mild: / Witless woe was ne’er beguiled! And I wept both night and day, / And he wiped my tears away; / And I wept both day and night, / And hid from him my heart’s delight. So he took his wings, and fled; / Then the morn blushed rosy red. / I dried my tears, and armed my fears / With ten-thousand shields and spears. Soon my Angel came again; / I was armed, he came in vain; / For the time of youth was fled, / And grey hairs were on my head. Words by William Blake Acrylics, graphite and gold leaf / 100×42

Golden Apollo, that thro’ heaven wide / Scatter’st the rays of light, and truth’s beams, / In lucent words my darkling verses dight, / And wash my earthy mind in thy clear streams, / That wisdom may descend in fairy dreams, / All while the jocund hours in thy train / Scatter their fancies at thy poet’s feet; / And when thou yields to night thy wide domain, / Let rays of truth enlight his sleeping brain. / For brutish Pan in vain might thee assay / With tinkling sounds to dash thy nervous verse, / Sound without sense; yet in his rude affray, / (For ignorance is Folly’s leasing nurse / And love of Folly needs none other’s curse) / Midas the praise hath gain’d of lengthen’d ears, / For which himself might deem him ne’er the worse / To sit in council with his modern peers, / And judge of tinkling rimes and elegances terse. Words by William Blake Painting using wax, inks, pigment and graphite / 100×42cm / Music / La tristesse des anges (The Sadness of the Angels)

"Can you think I can endure to be considered as a vapour arising from your food? / I will leave you if you doubt I am of no greater importance than a butterfly." / William Blake~

Oh, for a voice like thunder, and a tongue / To drown the throat of war ! When the senses / Are shaken, and the soul is driven to madness, / Who can stand ? / When the souls of the oppressed / Fight in the troubled air that rages, who can stand ? When the whirlwind of fury comes from the / Throne of God, when the frowns of his countenance / Drive the nations together, who can stand ? When sin claps his broad wings over the battle, / And sails rejoicing in the flood of death; / When souls are torn to everlasting fire, / And fiends of hell rejoice upon the slain, Oh, who can stand? Oh, who hath caused this ? / Oh, who can answer at the throne of God ? The kings and nobles of the land have done it ! / Hear it not, Heaven, thy ministers have done it !

On the 2nd October 1800 Blake wrote a letter to a friend and below are his words….. In particles bright / The jewels of Light / Distinct shone and clear. / Amaz’d and in fear / I each particle gazed, / Astonish’d, Amazed; / For each was a Man / Human – form’d. Swift I ran, / For they beckon’d to me / Remote by the Sea, / Saying: Each grain of Sand, / Every Stone on the Land, / Each rock and each hill, / Each fountain and rill, / Each herb and tree, / Mountain, hill, earth and sea, / Clour, Meteor and Star, / Are Men Seen Afar. Painting in acrylics, pigment and gold leaf 26th January 2009

Of many Wheels I view, wheel without wheel, with cogs tyrannic / Moving by compulsion each other: / Not as those in Eden: which / Wheel within Wheel in freedom revolve in harmony & peace. Shadow of delight…...Blake ties the sandal and, guided by Los, walks with it into the City of Art, inspired by The Spirit of Poetic Creativity. This painting is dedicated to Catherine Blake who was the wife of the poet, painter and engraver William Blake (1757–1827), and a vital presence throughout the life of the artist. 5th February 2009

The Human Abstract Pity would be no more If we did not make somebody poor, / And Mercy no more could be / If all were as happy as we. / And mutual fear brings Peace, Till the selfish loves increase; Then Cruelty knits a snare, / And spreads his baits with care. / / He sits down with his holy fears, / And waters the ground with tears; / Then Humility takes its root Underneath his foot. / / Soon spreads the dismal shade Of Mystery over his head, / And the caterpillar and fly Feed on the Mystery. / And it bears the fruit of Deceit, Ruddy and sweet to eat, / And the raven his nest has made In its thickest shade. The gods of the earth and sea / Sought through nature to find this tree, / But their search was all in vain: / There grows one in the human Brain / William Blake Thanks you and Production Credits / Photographer Marcus Ranum / Model Tony

“The nature of infinity is this: That every thing has its / Own Vortex; and when once a traveller thro Eternity. / “Has passd that Vortex, he percieves it roll backward behind” / “His path, into a globe itself infolding; like a sun:” / “Or like a moon, or like a universe of starry majesty,” / While he keeps onwards in his wondrous journey on the earth / “Or like a human form, a friend with whom he livd benevolent.” / As the eye of man views both the east & west encompassing / “Its vortex; and the north & south, with all their starry host;” / Also the rising sun & setting moon he views surrounding / His corn-fields and his valleys of five hundred acres square. / “Thus is the earth one infinite plane, and not as apparent” / To the weak traveller confin’d beneath the moony shade. / “Thus is the heaven a vortex passd already, and the earth” / A vortex not yet pass’d by the traveller thro’ Eternity.. / The Sea of Time & Space thundered aloud / “Against the rock, which was inwrapped with the weeds of death” / “Hovering over the cold bosom, in its vortex Milton bent down” / “To the bosom of death, what was underneath soon seemed above.” / A cloudy heaven mingled with stormy seas in loudest ruin; / “But as a wintry globe descends precipitant thro’ Beulah bursting,” / With thunders loud and terrible: so Miltons shadow fell / Precipitant loud thundering into the Sea of Time & Space.”...excerpted from Section 2…”Milton” by William Blake Sea and Sky meet in thunderous array….Inspired by the mystical writing of William Blake, “who was considered mad by contemporaries for his idiosyncratic views, but held in high regard by later critics for his expressiveness and creativity, and for the philosophical and mystical undercurrents within his work”..... / This piece is also influenced by the style of William Turner, “considered a controversial figure in his day, Turner is now regarded as the artist who elevated landscape painting to an eminence rivalling history painting. Although renowned for his oil paintings, Turner is also one of the greatest masters of British watercolour landscape painting. He is commonly known as “the painter of light” Wiki…....

The title is a line from William Blake’s poem, ” The book of Thel” and seemed to fit this scene from rural Yorkshire at the turn of summer into autumn, where the harvest roles on and the cattle feed on small fields left to grass. Taken near the village of Kilham While the clouds roll on and dance their dance of space with the wind as their partner.
