A Poison Tree, by William Blake. Discuss.

Yep. Adam and Eve are in there. Is the poem from 'Songs of Innocence' or 'Songs of Experience'? The former pieces of work were all 'Godly' - like the one with the lamb - the title of which escapes me. Was it 'Lamb'?

The poem was called 'Tyger' - from Songs Of Experience. The poem relates to creation, as far as I can remember, in that the same hand (God) can forge something so timid (the lamb etc) and yet at the same time create something as powerful and destructive as the tiger. The poem has great imagery. It's been a long time since I've read or studied it, though, so I'm sure other interpretations are out there.....

Cool

that poem is really good.
