I had to memorize this poem in 6th grade and I still remember it now.

We went to see KT Tunstall last night, in Bath. She's fantastic live but gigs do horrible things to my anxiety levels (the crowds! the strobe lights! the decibels!). I took William Blake along, to keep calm while waiting for the show to start. The chap next to me was four chapters in to "Murder Out of Commission" (I think). Couldn't see what his wife was reading but she had a further two books in her handbag. And then I felt all right! ?

Riveted_Reader_Melissa That‘s fabulous, what great random seat companions! 5y
merelybookish I guess KT Tunstall appeals to readers! 🙂 Glad it worked out! 5y

Tyger, Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
