My favorite poems...

0 Hey, my EnglishForward friends, I'm gonna use this space to post some of my favorite poems... If I can get the time, I may translate some from my favorite non english poets, but let's begin with this one:02br
02br
00The Tyger02br
02br
00Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright02br
00In the forests of the night,02br
00What immortal hand or eye02br
00Could frame thy fearful symmetry?02br
02br
00In what distant deeps or skies02br
00Burnt the fire of thine eyes?02br
00On what wings dare he aspire?02br
00What the hand dare seize the fire?02br
02br
00And what shoulder, and what art,02br
00Could twist the sinews of thy heart,02br
00And when thy heart began to beat,02br
00What dread hand? And what dread feet?02br
02br
00What the hammer? What the chain?02br
00In what furnace was thy brain?02br
00What the anvil? What dread grasp?02br
00Dare its deadly terrors clasp?02br
02br
00When the stars threw down their spears,02br
00And water'd heaven with their tears,02br
00Did he smile his work to see?02br
00Did he who made the Lamb make thee?02br
02br
00Tyger! Tyger! Burning bright02br
00In the forests of the night,02br
00What immortal hand or eye,02br
00Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?02br
02br
00William Blake02br
02br
01b00William Blake02b00 (1757-1827) was an English poet, painter, and 01a02a00printmaker. Largely unrecognized during his lifetime, his work is today considered seminal and significant in the history of both poetry and the visual arts.
