Description

PSP7 Comments & critiques welcome and appreciated I did this picture to hopefully bring more attention to the plight of tigers worldwide. I've included a poem by the great poet and mystic, William Blake, hence, the title. Also, here's some sites for helping save tigers. ~*~ TIGER, tiger, 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? What the hammer? what the chain? In what furnace was thy brain? What the anvil? What dread grasp Dare its deadly terrors clasp? When the stars threw down their spears, And water'd heaven with their tears, Did He smile His work to see? Did He who made the lamb make thee? Tiger, tiger, burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Dare frame thy fearful symmetry? William Blake. 1757

William Blake, a most miss-understood poet of his time. Guess he was way ahead of everyone. Love the cloning which gives it an air of mystery.
