The Tyger

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 of thine eyes?
on what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?

And what shoulder, & 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 dead grasp,
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And water'd heaved 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?

William Blake was an English poet, painter, and printmaker. 

Though largely unrecognised during his lifetime, today Blake's work, produced in partnership with his wife Catherine, 

is widely known. According to Northrop Frye, who undertook a study of Blake's entire poetic opus, his prophetic poems form 

"what is in proportion to its merits the least read body of poetry in the English language". Others have praised Blake's visual 

artistry, in particular his engravings: 

"Blake is far and away the greatest artist Britain has ever produced". 

In recent years, a memorial was erected for him and his wife.

Viewing Blake's accomplishments in either poetry or in the visual arts separately is to do him a disservice; 

Blake himself saw these two disciplines as being companions in a unified spiritual endeavour, and they are inseparable 

in a proper appreciation of his work. His life is, perhaps, summed up by his statement that 

"The imagination is not a State: it is the Human existence itself"; 

though this alone may not do justice to his thought.
