Talk:The Tyger

message: Industrialization
Blake was one of the most noted gay poets and like them he saw the pastoral country side as idyllic and viewed industrialization as a blight.
The word "gay" (vandalism?) has an interwiki to "Gigantism."  I have no idea what this meant to say originally.  Thorns Among Our Leaves 23:02, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Considering the two poems' connections and similarities, the articles for them ought to be more homogeneous.  Especially on whether or not to include a copy of the text in the article.  Currently, The Lamb does, and The Tyger does not.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.230.161.164 (talk) 23:34, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

message: They have a song called "Tiger, Tiger!" that has the lines "The stars burn bright/In the forest of night/But what mortal hands and eyes will I see there?"
The last bit is a definite reference, as is the title... but does anyone know what the song has to do with the poem aside from those two references? I'm trying to figure out a connection (huge fan of Slough Feg here) but I can't find it. 98.200.52.17 (talk) 00:34, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

message: There's a spider-man story called Kraven's Last Hunt where the first and last verse is kind of...covered. Tyger is replaced with spyder. I was wondering why it wasn't linked in the article, this article is linked in Kraven's Last Hunt.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hoopesk2 (talk • contribs) 04:50, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

message: An editor removed my addition to this article, calling it "trivia". Well, that's unfair, since so many articles about works of art have similar sections. I'm editing it again. If you disagree with me, please give me good reasons. Casquilho (talk) 20:24, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with Truthkeepr88's statement on your talkpage that this type of section overwhelms the article as it currently stands and adds little to the reader's understanding of the poem. Per WP:OTHERSTUFF, the fact that other articles contain trivia sections does not to me constitute a strong enough argument here. Kafka Liz (talk) 20:01, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with Truthkeeper88 and Kafka Liz; the minor pop culture additions to the article are essentially superfluous to the Blake poem; and doesn't add either understanding or quality...Modernist (talk) 22:34, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

message: Looking at this while listening to In Our Time I noticed Blake's drawing of the beast is about as fearful as fat persian cat. then, lo! The point was brought up in the programme. A tall atle about the French Revolution was aired, but surely there is some scholarly discussion of why such a great artist drew a tiger that looks as aggressive as Tigger and half as intelligent? Stub Mandrel (talk) 08:35, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I am surprised that the figure of the tiger is not really discussed here at all, especially (as the programme took pains to explain) Blake produced these works by direct engraving onto metal - the words were produced as part of the picture and not printed separately. The words and the images were treated as one organic whole. The tyger looks quite smug, but is he really smiling? One assumes that Blake would have been able to observe a real tiger, at least in captivity? Martinevans123 (talk) 10:20, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

message: There aren't that many citations in the structure or analysis section so it reads a lot like original research. Just putting this down ChuckedGryphon (talk) 05:50, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Few citations 

message: Regarding the rhyme: rather than distorting "symmetry" to rhyme with the modern "eye", could in be that "eye" is supposed to be pronounced as the archaic "ee"?  That would not only rhyme with symmetry, but with the "thee" in the other verse that people have been suggesting it should match as well.  Are there any citable sources suggesting or discussing this?
