Throughout William Blake's career and life, he was known for many things, such as printmaking, painting, and poetry. Although his artwork brought him some notoriety, he was probably best known for his poetry. Two of these poems, The Lamb and the Tiger, which have a strong endorsement of religion, particularly that of Christianity, come from a published series of poems called Songs of Innocence and Experience, which fits exceptionally well with the themes of both. these poems. While the Lamb falls more into the category of innocence, almost that of a child, the Tiger falls more into a darker category, like a more informed adult wondering about God. While these poems have a lot to offer, the most the extraordinary features of this story should be the religion, the voice that speaks and the theme of the poems. The easiest place to start with these poems should definitely be the religious aspect. , as both of these poems make direct reference to Christianity, or at least a higher power. The very name of the poem Lamb is a reference to Christianity, since in the Bible Jesus was called lamb. And after the narrator appears to ask the person he is talking to, who is somewhat implied to be Jesus, he goes on to say that the lamb is gentle and gentle, and has become a little child, (Blake, The Lamb), which is a reference to the birth of Jesus in the Bible, as the Lamb, or God, was born and became a child. The Tiger refers to religion, or at least a reference to a higher power in a slightly more serious way, wondering what immortal hand or eye could frame your fearful symmetry, (Blake, The Tiger) in other words referencing that that God could create such a fearsome creature. creature, and it almost seems...... middle of paper ......rds, and completely avoids any musical quality, making mention of hammers, chains, anvils and furnaces, giving the image of a blacksmith, working far away in a hot room, lit by a furnace, pounding metal, almost giving the sensation of a dark abyss, like that of Hell. Taking these poems for all they are worth, they could be considered as Blake's evolution as a Christian, starting as that of an innocent child, and slowly evolving into that of a more erudite Christian, almost evolving to a state of questioning of some of God's intentions, or perhaps even reaching an agnostic state of faith. In any case, these poems certainly contain views of religion from very different angles and different perceptions of what God really is. Both poems appear to be an attempt to personify God and lower Him to a level that would be easier for man to understand..
