<P> "The Tyger" lacks narrative movement . The first stanza opens the central question, "What immortal hand or eye, / Could frame thy fearful symmetry?" Here the direct address to the creature becomes most obvious, but certainly, "the Tyger" cannot provide the lyrical "I" with a satisfactory answer, so the contemplation continues . The second stanza questions "the Tyger" about where he was created; the third about how the creator formed him; the fourth about what tools were used . In the fifth stanza, Blake wonders how the creator reacted to "the Tyger", and who created the creature . Finally, the sixth restates the central question while raising the stakes; rather than merely question what / who "could" create the Tyger, the speaker wonders: who dares . </P> <P> "The Tyger" is the sister poem to "The Lamb" (from "Songs of Innocence"), a reflection of similar ideas from a different perspective (Blake's concept of "contraries"), with "The Lamb" bringing attention to innocence . "The Tyger" presents a duality between aesthetic beauty and primal ferocity, and Blake believes that to see one, the hand that created "The Lamb", one must also see the other, the hand that created "The Tyger": "Did he who made the Lamb make thee?" </P> <P> The "Songs of Experience" were written as a contrary to the "Songs of Innocence"--a central tenet in Blake's philosophy, and central theme in his work . The struggle of humanity is based on the concept of the contrary nature of things, Blake believed, and thus, to achieve truth one must see the contraries in innocence and experience . Experience is not the face of evil but rather another facet of that which created us . Kazin says of Blake, "Never is he more heretical than...where he glories in the hammer and fire out of which are struck...the Tyger". Rather than believing in war between good and evil or heaven and hell, Blake thought each man must first see and then resolve the contraries of existence and life . In "The Tyger" he presents a poem of "triumphant human awareness" and "a hymn to pure being", according to Kazin . </P> <Ul> <Li> Rebecca Clarke--"The Tiger" (1929--33) </Li> <Li> Benjamin Britten, in his song cycle Songs and Proverbs of William Blake (1965) </Li> <Li> Greg Brown, on the album "Songs of Innocence and of Experience" (1986) </Li> <Li> John Tavener--"The Tyger" (1987) </Li> <Li> Tangerine Dream--the album Tyger (1987) </Li> <Li> Jah Wobble--"Tyger Tyger" (1996) </Li> <Li> Kenneth Fuchs--Songs of Innocence and of Experience: Four Poems by William Blake for Baritone, Flute, Oboe, Cello, and Harp (completed 2006) </Li> <Li> Herbst in Peking--"The Tyger and The Fly" (2014) </Li> <Li> Qntal--"Tyger" (2014) </Li> <Li> Mephisto Walz--"The Tyger" </Li> </Ul>
