Re: ANTI-merge Tiger thread
The Tyger
by William Blake
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright,
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire in 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 heart 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 watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb, make thee?
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright,
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

Re: ANTI-merge Tiger thread
u know, i'm getting faintly uneasy memories reading that poem. i think i had to analyze it wan time and was completely lost. all mi member is the teacher said blake spelled "tyger" that way fi underline the specialness of the creature.
of course, now that mi have more sense i can see that it is a poem in which the magnificence of the tiger is testament to the talents of some higher power.
or some such.
