He ranks close after Wordsworth and Tennyson on my list of favorite poets. But I did not know much about him.<br /><br />I liked "The Tiger" when I was rather young and it still 'flashes upon that inward eye'. "Did He who made the lamb make thee!" There is so much beauty and depth of thought. God can make the lamb and the tiger. He communicates the 'bigness', awesomeness and fullness of God very effectively. <br /><br />To me, this poem is thought provoking. It does not impose any particular belief on us and we are free to interpret it within the boundaries of our own beliefs. Based on this poem alone, he seems to be one who is wrestling with his thoughts and not one who is dogmatic about any particular belief.<br /><br /><br />Christina Victor-Bandyopadhyaynoreply@blogger.com
