[net.books] Tiger, Tiger, burning bright

inc@fluke.UUCP (Gary Benson) (06/12/85)

A portion was posted in ^^^ that message, and it was correct. The quote is
indeed from Blake, but I think he spelled tiger with an 'i' not a 'y' (ASCII
69 rather than 79 |-)

As I further recall, it is from a 2-part poem called "Songs of Innocence"
and "Songs of Experience", with the Tiger being experienced. I think I can
remember the next line, too:

    Tiger, tiger, burning bright,
    In the forest of the night,
    What immortal hand or eye,
    Dare frame thy mortal symmetry?
