The poem “The Tyger” by William Blake builds on the conventional idea that nature is a form of art work, and the creator must resemble the art work. The tiger is beautiful, yet it can inflict an incredible amount of power and violence. The speaker says “what immortal hand or eye could frame thy fearful symmetry” (line4)?

The Lamb The poem begins with the question, “Little Lamb, who made thee?” The speaker, a child, asks the lamb about its origins: how it came into being, how it acquired its particular manner of feeding, its “clothing” of wool, its “tender voice.” In the next stanza, the speaker attempts a riddling answer to his own question: the lamb was made by one who “calls himself a Lamb,” one who resembles in his gentleness both the child and the lamb. The poem ends with the child bestowing a blessing

And the answer is, "Yes, God made the Tyger too." To understand "The Tyger" fully, you need to know Blake's symbols. One of the central themes in
