I think it means something different than actual laughter. What do you think? https://nowcomment.com/documents/136490?scroll_to=1357253 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136490?scroll_to=1357253 Thu, 16 May 2019 10:15:42 -0400 Is he being hopeful or hopeless at the end of the poem? https://nowcomment.com/documents/136461?scroll_to=1357250 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136461?scroll_to=1357250 Thu, 16 May 2019 10:13:42 -0400 This is so sad that he feels like he wants to die because of the hatred. Have you ever felt this way? https://nowcomment.com/documents/136461?scroll_to=1357248 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136461?scroll_to=1357248 Thu, 16 May 2019 10:12:55 -0400 Why does he need to pause to breathe? Why do you think he's out of breath? https://nowcomment.com/documents/136145?scroll_to=1357247 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136145?scroll_to=1357247 Thu, 16 May 2019 10:14:41 -0400 I wonder what he means by sword? Do you think it's a metaphor? https://nowcomment.com/documents/136145?scroll_to=1357246 https://nowcomment.com/documents/136145?scroll_to=1357246 Thu, 16 May 2019 10:09:25 -0400 Love this. https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272146 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272146 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:56:37 -0400 Under the skin of the tiger are the powerful muscles and fibers/sinews that twist and turn as he moves. https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272142 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272142 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:56:37 -0400 I think that the way the tiger looks is fearful because there's no gentle side. All sides of the tiger look the same. Scary! https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272133 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272133 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:56:37 -0400 Symmetry in and of itself is not fearful. But the tiger's symmetry, in particular, is. The stripes, the fiery eyes, the massive paws. https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272119 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272119 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:56:36 -0400 If only God can make this magnificent symmetry, then Blake is on purpose NOT creating rhythmic symmetry to imply that he (Blake) is not Godly. Does that make sense? https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272114 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272114 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:56:36 -0400 Blake is talking about metal when he says hammer and chain. The fire of the furnace can melt metal and the anvil is used to bend metal. https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272100 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272100 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:56:36 -0400 Symmetry means the same on both sides -- you have two eyes, two arms, two legs. https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272070 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272070 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:56:36 -0400 Why is the word Lamb a capital L? https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272064 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272064 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:56:36 -0400 Anvil is a very heavy iron table that workers use to make things. The table is pretty much indestructible. https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272054 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272054 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:56:36 -0400 Furnace is a place that burns things. https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272048 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272048 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:56:36 -0400 Sinews are the fibers, called tendons, that attach muscle to bone. https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272046 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272046 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:56:36 -0400 Seize means grab. https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272043 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272043 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:56:36 -0400 Thine and thy means you/your https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272040 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272040 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:56:36 -0400 Immortal means living forever https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272035 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1272035 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:56:36 -0400 I wonder if tiger was misspelled on purpose? Or was it spelled tyger back then? https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1271980 https://nowcomment.com/documents/131478?scroll_to=1271980 Wed, 22 Jul 2020 16:56:36 -0400
