  • on The Tyger by William Blake, on April 24, 2006

    God, Maker of the Tyger -- And the Lamb?

    "Tyger" speaks about the seemingly unknowable mind and purpose of God.
    Why would He who created the lamb, the most mild and gentle creature, also create a tiger, a ferocious, flame-like animal that would devour the lamb if it could get anywhere near: "Did he how made the lamb make thee?" says the bewildered, frightened inquisitor.
    Yes. How frightening, how incomprehensible, how frighteningly imcomprehensible if he "smiled" upon finishing his creation.
