I can assume from this metaphor that the "crowds upon the pavement" were very crowded and packed. This poem was written in the mid 1930s, approximately during the Great Depression. Many English were unemployed and poor and Birmingham, (where Bristol Street is located) was especially hit by this economic crisis. This can explain why the streets were crowded like "fields of harvest wheat."

Auden is from the U.K. I redirected my search to England. I knew that Bristol is a city and county in southwest England so I assumed that "Bristol Street" would be in England as well. My research concluded that Bristol Street is in Birmingham, U.K. Mon, 08 Apr 2019 09:08:43 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136581?scroll_to=1318522 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136581?scroll_to=1318522 There is a Bristol Street in Brooklyn, New York, but since I know W.H.

This poem seems like an Ode to the Tiger or an Ode to a higher being, maybe God. "And what shoulder, & what art," -What being? "Could twist the sinews of thy heart?" -Could create something so intricate as a your heart? "and when thy heart began to beat," -and when you got this creation to operate, "What dread hand? & what dread feet?" -How'd this being move on to create your hands and feet?

In line 3, a "he" and his "work" is mentioned. This could be a reference to a God and humans as his work. Line 4 "the Lamb" Jesus Christ is referenced to as the lamb Jesus is God's son This line could be asking 'Did he who created Jesus Christ create you? Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:56:36 -0400
