    The Tyger by William Blake

    m
    "The Tyger" is a poem by visionary English poet William

    co
    Blake. The poet wonders who created the fearsome tiger
    and questions whether the same creator created creatures
    like the insecure lamb.

    In the second stanza, the poet directly addresses a tiger. He


    a.
    imagines his bright coloured body in a dark forest at night.
    The poet wonders which immortal creature would have
    created the intimidating beauty of the tiger.
    w
    The poet now wonders about where would have the tiger’s
    fierce eyes been created, would it have been created in the
    remote depths or the skies above. The poet now asks if the
    r

    creator of the tiger had wings and how at all his hands
    mustered up the courage to create the tiger.

    In the next stanza, the poet acknowledges the effort and


    talent required to create the tiger and thinks how the
    creator must be so strong that he built the muscular body
    of the tiger. The poet asks the tiger’s heart started beating
    ta

    by whose hands and feet.

    In the next stanza, the poet imagines the tools which must
    have been used to create the tiger, while he imagines that
    pi

    it was in a forge that the tiger’s brain was created. The


    poet again asks who is the terrifying being who dared to
    create the tiger.

    The poet now describes a scene when the stars rained on


    heaven after surrendering their weapons. The poet won-
    ders if during this time, the creator took a look at the tiger
    and felt delighted by his accomplishment. He also asks if
    the one who created the tiger also created the lamb.

    In the end, the speaker takes the opportunity to address


    the tiger again. The poet not only wonders who could
    create this fear-inducing beast but also wonders who
    would dare.
