As is Virgil from DMC was narrating it.

For anyone well acquainted with the Old Testament, these poems are a blast. My favorite 2 were: There is no natural religion, and A marriage of heaven and hell. They do require multiple listens, and lots of uninterrupted periods of serious introspection.

It is Blake

I recommend this book for anyone who wants an amateur but good sounding voice talent.
