" 'Tiger! Tiger! Burning bright, / in the forests of the night.'

Blake wrote that. Apparently the tiger was on fire. Maybe his tail got struck by lightning or something.

Flammable felines - what a weird subject for poetry." --Calvin, Calvin and Hobbes

Hmm... I like it ;-) --Ihope127 14:11, 12 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Blake means the vivid colour of the tiger - not that it is literally on fire!

Maybe its tail got roasted." --Qi Jing

Why does he rhyme "eye" with "Symmetry" they're kinda pushed to rhyme...

Back then, "symmetry" would have been pronounced "sim-mit-try," not "sim-mit-tree." Thorns Among Our Leaves 23:02, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gay/Gigantism

Industrialization

Blake was one of the most noted gay poets and like them he saw the pastoral country side as idyllic and viewed industrialization as a blight.

The word "gay" (vandalism?) has an interwiki to "Gigantism." I have no idea what this meant to say originally. Thorns Among Our Leaves 23:02, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If someone knows how to do references, David Erdmann's Prophet Against Empire will corroborate the French Revolution connection. CBR

The Lamb/The Tyger Homogenization

Considering the two poems' connections and similarities, the articles for them ought to be more homogeneous. Especially on whether or not to include a copy of the text in the article. Currently, The Lamb does, and The Tyger does not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.230.161.164 (talk) 23:34, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Slough Feg?

They have a song called "Tiger, Tiger!" that has the lines "The stars burn bright/In the forest of night/But what mortal hands and eyes will I see there?"

The last bit is a definite reference, as is the title... but does anyone know what the song has to do with the poem aside from those two references? I'm trying to figure out a connection (huge fan of Slough Feg here) but I can't find it. 98.200.52.17 (talk) 00:34, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kraven's Last Hunt

There's a spider-man story called Kraven's Last Hunt where the first and last verse is kind of...covered. Tyger is replaced with spyder. I was wondering why it wasn't linked in the article, this article is linked in Kraven's Last Hunt. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hoopesk2 (talk • contribs) 04:50, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Poem

Not including because some other wikipedia wants to show it is stupid.

It's like not displaying a picture because wikicommons already has it or an even better example: not displaying a quote because wikiquotes has it.

I don't know how to do this but I'd like to initiate a vote for whether the poem should be included or not.
