The Tiger by William Blake
The Tiger by William Blake
This poem, "The Tiger" was composed by the famous romantic poet William Blake. This poem has been taken from his creation, "Song of Experience". This poem is a symbolic one that is based on Blake's myth. The poet has raised various questions about the tiger's fierce appearance and also about its creator in each stanza. He has also compared the tiger with the lamb in various aspects.
The poet has praised the creator of the tiger. He is surprised to see the fierce appearance of the tiger and raises various questions about its creator. According to the poet, God has made the tiger with extreme power and dazzling eyes. He has also raised questions related to the tiger's cleverness and the art of the creator, who has made the strong heart of the tiger. He inquires about the types of equipment, such as anvils, hammers, etc., that have been used to make the tiger's body so strong. He also adds that immortal hands or eyes made the tiger so fearful.
The poet talks about the lamb, on the other hand. According to him, the same creator has created a lamb, a weak and delicate animal. Both of them, the tiger and the lamb, were created by the same God in this way. The poet of this poem has presented a terrible wild animal, the tiger, as a symbol of tyranny, and the lamb as a symbol of innocence.
Here, the tiger stands for the necessary force to break the bonds of experiences in our soul. It is a divine spirit that isn't defeated by other forces. God has created everything. Nature and its creatures are created by God. God has made both strong and weak creatures here in nature. Even the stars throw down their spears, showing their disapproval of God's creation of a super-powerful tiger. All the stars are symbols of rationality. As a sign of defeat, the stars throw their spears and water heaven with their tears. The same God has created different creatures in this nature.
To the Moon by P. B. Shelley
SHORT SUMMARY
To the Moon by P. B. Shelley
"To the Moon" is a poem that has been composed by P. B. Shelley. Here, the poet has personified 'The Moon' in the feminine gender. Here in this poem, he uses various similes for the moon. This poem is a kind of quest for constancy.
According to the poet, in this inconstant world, everything keeps moving and changing all the time. The poet gives his own opinions about the inconstant nature of the moon. Though the moon looks beautiful and constant, it is not so energetic. She has joyless and pale eyes due to the tiredness of moving up and down. The moon makes an endless journey. She thinks of herself alone in the sky. The poet makes a comparison between the moon and the stars. The stars are different entities having their own light and constant, but the moon is an inconstant entity whose responsibility is to revolve around the sun. She even doesn't have her light; that’s why she is seeking constancy. The moon is also spending life without having any friends. The moon isn't satisfied with her changing and moving life. Perhaps she is looking for her constancy.
The poet says that the moon is wandering in search of a companion but is unable to find a constant friend of her birth.
MAIN IDEA OF THE POEM
To the Moon by P. B. Shelley
In this world, everything is changeable. Nothing remains constant. Change is an inevitable demand of nature. Everything keeps changing all the time. We all creatures should move along with passing time without being constant, like a companion like the moon. The moon is in search of a suitable constant friend, but she is unable to find it. The joyless eyes of the moon are searching for her constant friend, but they cannot find anyone of her birth. Therefore, human desire raises constancy, but natural rules make them move or change from one state to another.
