Forbidden Fruit

Told a class today they were forbidden to read Blake's Proverbs From Hell which happen to occupy a couple of pages of an anthology we're using. This should guarantee some close reading and a fair bit of thought, eh? A touch of wisdom from the tygers of wrath. (Which I've always thought would make a great name for a punk rock band.)

    lol! I wonder if it was my sister's class. (That would be the Y5 humanities class.)

    They were forbidden it? That sounds like criminal breach of trust. What's wrong with steely irony?
