I chose this picture not to picture the tyger of the poem, but rather the one who did create the tyger be it god or devil. But also because that I think the imagery of the first four lines, fits that picture so well.
Music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOVPc3nfMBY The feeling of divinity in the poem, is one of the main themes in my opinion and i think that this song, also incorporates the feeling of some divine entity.
At first he describes the dreaded Tyger, and then ponders of who created this beautiful, monster of a cat. That only an immortal hand or eye is able, to create this fearful symmetry. Blake wonders of what kind of god or daemon, that did create the tyger. what wings they fly with, is it from the deep or from the skies. He continues to describe this great creator, a being so powerful, that it could shape the flesh and bone of the tyger, as mortals men, bend hot iron on an anvil. And finally he asks if that this great creator, did create something as innocent and peaceful as the little lamb. The conclusion of this poem is that Blake is concerned about the creator of the lamb.
When this poem is compared with the lamb, then this poem feels more like a a question upon to ponder, unlike the lamp. Where of that when reading the lamb, its more of a ode to god upon creating this perfect, little, innocent creature that lives on the meadows where it happily eats and thrives, the lamp even got the softest woolen clothes of all animals. But when reading the tyger, then it's about Blake questioning god. About why he would create such a creature. If it's god to blame for it's existence. God is portrayed very differently in both poems, in the lamb he pictured as a gentle, nice and friendly creature as the lamp. But in the tyger he is the huge powerful life smith that smiths the tyger into existence, as men would with a weapon.
