The Tiger, by William Blake.jpeg


Mercian

Because Stripy Cat is ♥️ 😊

 

Also because this famous poem is immediately striking and also rewards deeper, more-contemplative reading.

 

Blake engraved this poem more than once, and different copies contain varying punctuation.

I have retained some elements of Blake’s 18th-century punctuation, but have updated the spelling of the name of the eponymous stripy cat (from “Tyger” to ‘Tiger’), and have replaced Blake’s “sieze” with the currently-accepted spelling ‘seize’.

 

Paper: an A4 sheet of wide-lined (8mm line separation) 70gsm paper from a ‘WH Smith’ brand refill pad.

Pen: Pilot Metropolitan with ‘CM’ nib.

Ink: Pilot ‘Blue/Black’ from a cartridge.
