The Tyger by William Blake (1794)

"They Tyger"

Bonus: 

I like to read it chantier

Summary: Tigers are big and scary.

Commentary: This reads like half war chant and half children's book. I still hate that slant rhyme at the end of the first stanza.

Was away most of the day for a volunteer project and a Halloween parade so let's have our first grain of sand? Or is it a pebble? Whatever. We talked about Blake a little while I was helping fix up a wheelchair ramp today, so I decided to look up a little of him to read. I think I read some of his longer stuff in college and liked it better.
