After Blake:
DRAGON
We dreamed a dream of fire made flesh -
we gave it wings to soar on high -
an earthquake tread, and burning breath -
a thunderbolt that clove the sky -
its belly seethed with ancient bile;
its brain was forged in human guile
and human strength with Vulcan's art
beat out the hammer of its heart.
We dreamed a dream of hide and horn -
the wonder of a thousand tales -
we built from prehistoric bones -
we armoured it in iron scales -
and all our rage, ambition, greed
re-shaped our dream into our need
with mortal hands to seize the fire -
to more-than-mortal power aspire.
And when the heav'n threw down the sun
and seared whole cities from the earth,
when silence fell of endless death
and wail of demons brought to birth -
when far above the shattered skies
the angels hid their rainbow eyes -
did we smile our work to see?
Did Man, who made the gods, make Thee?

"Tiger" as an intro to the Dragon Charmer Jan Siegel's
