Elizabeth Bishop, William Blake, Jim Jarmusch, and my high-school English teacher Barney Tanner

I followed Elizabeth Bishop's description of her "Sandpiper" ("Questions of Travel", 1965) as "a student of Blake" to William Blake's "Auguries of Innocence" (c. 1803, published 1863): "To see a world in a grain of sand." Then I recalled Nobody (Gary Farmer) reciting the poem in Jim Jarmusch's 1995 film
