Bonus post: Maybe William Blake knew the Doctor?

I noticed that if you change just a few words here and there in William Blake's "Tiger" it is quite relevant to the Dr. Who story...eerily so! Just thought it might be interesting to put up.

TARDIS, Tardis, flashing bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant times or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy hearts began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And water'd heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who saved the Earth save thee?

Tardis, Tardis, flashing bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
