William Blake’s “The Tyger” questions the creator’s power and beauty, turning wonder into a fierce, thought-provoking mystery.
Today's poem for June 11, 2026, is "The Tyger" by William Blake. Tyger Tyger, burning bright, In the forests of the night; What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry? In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thine eyes? On what wings dare he aspire? What the hand, dare seize the fire? And what shoulder, and what art, Could twist the sinews of thy heart? And when thy heart began to beat, What dread hand? and what dread feet? Blake turns wonder into a question with teeth: beauty can be radiant, and still unsettle us.
