QUOTE=richardkeys;56092077]does anyone have notes for the poems??[/QUOTE]
I think it is the tiger as well. There is so much to write about it. The poem begins with the speaker asking a fearsome tiger what kind of divine being could have created it: “What immortal hand or eye/ Could frame they fearful symmetry?” Each subsequent stanza contains further questions, all of which refine this first one. From what part of the cosmos could the tiger’s fiery eyes have come, and who would have dared to handle that fire? What sort of physical presence, and what kind of dark craftsmanship, would have been required to “twist the sinews” of the tiger’s heart? The speaker wonders how, once that horrible heart “began to beat,” its creator would have had the courage to continue the job. Comparing the creator to a blacksmith, he ponders about the anvil and the furnace that the project would have required and the smith who could have wielded them. And when the job was done, the speaker wonders, how would the creator have felt? “Did he smile his work to see?” Could this possibly be the same being who made the lamb? It is also written in the time of the industrial revolution. It show how good cannot exist without evil. The tiger and the lamb.

For last minute revision, I recommend 'Miss Lindsay' on YouTube as she annotates the relationship poems very well and the ideas are good and easy to remember!
