Two beautiful poems by William Blake which represnt two different natures- The Tyger and The Lamb, published in 1794. They mean much more when you read them together.
First is 'THE LAMB' from 'Songs of innocence' which describes innocence...
The second is ' THE TYGER' from his collection 'Songs of experience' which describes the evil. I had heard this poem but never realised its actual meaning till i read both together.The Tyger also presents a duality between aesthetic beauty and primal ferocity. Thanks to Wikipedia! And the best part is both the animals are used only as a metaphor! :) :P

| An apt representation of the poem and it's message! |
