El
Tigre
Tigre,
tigre, que ardes brillante
en los bosques de la noche:
¿qué mano u ojo inmortal
pudo delinear tu tremenda
simetría?
¿En qué profundidades o cielos distantes
ardió el incendio de tus ojos?
¿Con qué alas se atreve su
aspiración?
¿Cuál es la mano que osa atrapar
tal fuego?
¿Y cuál escápula, cuál arte pudo
entrelazar las fibras de tu
corazón?
Y cuando tu corazón comenzó a
latir
¿qué mano tremenda, qué pies tremendos?
¿Cuál es el martillo, cuál es la
cadena?
¿En cuál horno se forjó tu
cerebro?
¿En qué yunque? ¿Qué terrible
garra
se animó a asegurar sus
mortíferos terrores?
Cuando las estrellas dispararon
sus dardos
y regaron el cielo con sus
lágrimas:
¿sonrió Él al ver su obra?
¿El que hizo al Cordero fue
quien te hizo?
Tigre,
tigre que ardes brillante
en los bosques de la noche:
¿qué mano u ojo inmortal se
atrevió
a delinear tu tremenda simetría?
The Tiger
Tiger! Tiger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder, and what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? and what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
Tiger! Tiger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
"The Tyger" is a poem by the English poet William Blake. It was published as part of his collection Songs of Experience in 1794 (see 1794 in poetry). It is one of Blake's best-known and most analyzed poems. The Cambridge Companion to William Blake (2003) calls it "the most anthologized poem in English."[1][2]
Most modern anthologies have kept Blake's choice of the archaic spelling "tyger". It was a common spelling of the word at the time but was already "slightly archaic"[3] when he wrote the poem; he spelled it as "tiger" elsewhere,[1] and many of his poetic effects "depended on subtle differences of punctuation and of spelling."[4] Thus, his choice of "tyger" has usually been interpreted as being for effect, perhaps to render an "exotic or alien quality of the beast",[5] or because it's not really about a "tiger" at all, but a metaphor.[1]
"The Tyger" is the sister poem to "The Lamb" (from "Songs of Innocence"), a reflection of similar ideas from a different perspective, but "The Lamb" focuses more on goodness than evil. "The Tyger" also presents a duality between aesthetic beauty and primal ferocity. The speaker wonders whether the hand that created "The Lamb" also created "The Tyger”.
The poem, together with other William Blake poetry, has been set to music by the group Tangerine Dream, and can be found on their album "Tyger" from 1987 (re-released 1992).
