Response to Blake`s “Tiger”
At the first glimpse on the poem, the title caught my feelings away. I felt so excited to read it and know more and more about it since the tiger has powerful, strength, mysterious and fearful impacts on our feelings. I start asking myself, “Is it going to be about the description of a tiger? Is it going to be about a story of someone met a tiger? Or is it going to be a song for children about this animal?” the poet started with repeating the word tiger for two times. Maybe, this is because he wanted us to have the frightening and powerful feelings from the beginning. I do like how the poet is wondering about the symmetry frame of the tiger. It is really worth way to meditate and feel the greatness of the creator. He wonders how strong the tiger is, but he assures that there must be a higher, “hand or eye”, higher strength to create such scary and terribly beautiful animal. This meditating of the animal and wondering remind me of something related to us as Muslims. We always when we see something in the ultimate beauty, energy, power, youth and so on, we start wondering about the greatness of the God and start glorified Him and praying since He has the ultimate power to create such wonderful world and the entire beings breathing on it.
