Witherslick Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Tyger! 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, and what art, Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And when thy heart begin 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 water'd 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? I love this poem. Most people have only heard the first stanza! It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong. - VoltaireBehind this mask there is more then flesh, there is an idea, and ideas are bulletproof. - VWhen the time comes, Don't hesitate, Just Act. - Wolf O Donnal - Star Fox Assault.

Joes_So_Cool Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Cool, I love lots of songs/poems, etc, but I don't post them, I'm not sure what this thread is about? Maybe if you expand it it'd go off better and have more discussion value, for example your favorite song/poem? Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

EdgedThesis Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Haha, and I've only seen a manipulation of the poem, in the Spidey comic 'Kraven's Last Hunt'. "Spyder, Spyder, Burning bright, In the forests of the Night, What immortal hand or eye, could frame thy fearful symmetry...?" But I don't want to go among mad people!Oh, you can't help that. We're all mad here..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racheya Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Not much discussion value? Maybe make this a more general poems thread - I know quite a few doing English Lit A-level : Some of my favourite poets are Simon Armitige and Carol Ann Duffy. I did them at GCSE and I found almost all their poems great - not boring and filled with descriptions of pretty landscapes... I edit for the [Tip.It Times]. I rarely write in [My Blog]. I am an [Ex-Moderator]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
