The LambLittle Lamb, who made thee?

Dost thou know who made thee? Gave thee life, and bid thee feed, By the stream and o'er the mead; Gave thee clothing of delight, Softest clothing, woolly, bright; Gave thee such a tender voice, Making all the vales rejoice? Little Lamb, who made thee? Dost thou know who made thee?Little Lamb, I'll tell thee, Little Lamb, I'll tell thee. He is called by thy name, For He calls Himself a Lamb. He is meek, and He is mild; He became a little child. I a child, and thou a lamb, We are called by His name. Little Lamb, God bless thee! Little Lamb, God bless thee!

Piccolo Agnello, chi ti ha creato,Sai chi ti ha creato?

Piccolo Agnello, te lo diròPiccolo Agnello, te lo dirò.

E' chiamato con il tuo nomePerchè egli chiama se stesso un AgnelloEgli è mite ed egli è lieveEgli divenne un piccolo bambinoIo un bambino, tu un Agnello,noi siamo chiamati con il suo nome.

Piccolo Agnello, Dio ti benedica!

The Tyger

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

Tigre tigre che bruci luminosanelle foreste della nottequale mano o occhio immortalepotè formare la tua spaventosa simmetria??

In quali lontane profondità o cieli lontanibruciava il fuoco dei tuoi occhi?su quali ali ha osato librarsi?quale mano ha osato afferrare il fuoco?

E quale spalla e quale potereè riuscito a piegare i nervi del tuo cuore?e quando il tuo cuore ha cominciato a battere quella mano terribile e quel piede terribile?

Quale martello quale catenain quale fornace era il tuo cervello?quale incudine quale morsa terribile?ha osato afferrare i suoi mortali terrori?

Quando le stelle buttarono giù le loro lanceed hanno bagnato il cielo con le loro lacrimelui ha sorriso del suo operato?colui che ha creato l’ agnello ha creato anche te?

Tigre tigre che bruci nella luminosanelle foreste della nottequale mano o occhio immortaleha osato formare la tua spaventosa simmetria?

Interpretation

Symbols The Tiger: Evil (or Satan) The Lamb: Goodness (or God) Distant Deeps: Hell Skies: Heaven

Themes The Existence of Evil The Tiger” presents a question that embodies the central theme: Who created the tiger? Was it the kind and loving God who made the lamb? Or was it Satan? Blake presents his question in Lines 3 and 4: What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry?Blake realizes, of course, that God made all the creatures on earth. However, to express his bewilderment that the God who created the gentle lamb also created the terrifying tiger, he includes Satan as a possible creator while raising his rhetorical questions, notably the one he asks in Lines 5 and 6: In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thy eyes?

SimboliLa Tigre: Il Male (o Satana)L’Agnello: La Bontà (o Dio)Profondità Lontane: InfernoCieli: Paradiso

L’Esistenza del Male“La Tigre” propone una domanda centrale: Chi ha creato la tigre? E’ stato il Dio buono e amorevole che ha creato l’Agnello? O è stato Satana? Blake ci propone la domanda nei versi 3 e 4: What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry?Blake certamente sa che Dio ha creato tutte le creature della terra. Comunque, per esprimere lo stupore che sia stato lo stesso Dio a creare sia l’agnello gentile che la terrificante tigre, Include anche il nome di Satana come possibile creatore quando chiede nei versi 5 e 6: In what distant deeps or skies Burnt the fire of thy eyes?
