While reading Blake's "Songs of innocence and experience" I was flown away by the thought of comparing these two figures..
Tiger And Lamb!!!
Both are created by the Almighty.. The same Hands created them.. still both of these are so different in every aspect..
It really leaves you to a quest..
How did He put that fiery light into the tiger's eyes.. How did the creator of the tiger soar to the distant skies or descend to the depths of the earth in order to obtain the needful fire for the tiger's eyes?
Whose hands could have dared to catch the hold of fire? And how?
Well, i wonder, the Angels of God must have been amazed to see this creation by God, and they must have had thrown down their spears and wept to see such a merciless and ferocious beast been created by God.
It is amazing to know that the same creator had created both the lamb and the tiger.
The Lamb is innocent and mild and meek. It has been endowed with bright and soft wool.
It has a tender voice which fills the valley with joy.
Both the tiger and the lamb represent the two contrary states of the human soul.
The lamb represents the innocence and the humility of man; the tiger represents the violent and terrifyimg forces within man.
Taken together, the lamb and the tiger represent the duality of human nature.
Amazingly created creatures by God and equally amazingly compared by Blake..
Startled, Amazed and Flowed...
