The tiger est l’un des poèmes les plus fameux de la poésie anglaise. William Blake se pose le problème de la création par Dieu du bien et du mal dans le monde. Si l’agneau humble est doux décrit par Blake dans un autre poème est une créature qui symbolise le bien et a pour cette raison été incontestablement créé par un Dieu bienveillant, qu’en est-il du tigre à la beauté sublime mais dont la férocité et la cruauté en font l’incarnation du mal. Serait-ce Satan le créateur de cette machine à tuer aux proportions parfaites qui irradie les sombres forêts. Qui a forgé cette créature aux yeux flamboyants ? A t il été créé au Ciel ou dans les profondeurs infernales ?
L’un des principes de base sur lesquels s’appuie la philosophie de Blake est l’unité des contraires. Plutôt que d’envisager l’existence humaine comme une lutte permanente et une lutte à mort entre le bien et le mal,Blake considère que l’expression des contraires est inhérente à la nature humaine, qu’il faut l’accepter comme un fait incontournable et que le devoir de l’homme est alors de s’attacher à résoudre les conflits de manière synthétique. Ainsi, la création du tigre ne constitue aucunement une erreur ou une violence faite à l’ordre harmonieux du monde, le monde pour être complet doit contenir à la fois l’agneau doux et fragile et le tigre prédateur et cruel.
William Blake
Nasceu em Londres, a 28 de novembro de 1757, filho de um comerciante. Seu pai, adepto do visionário Swedenborg, poupou-o da pedagogia oficial, incentivando a seguir seu próprio caminho e desenvolver seus dotes artísticos. As primeiras manifestações de vidência surgiram no futuro poeta aos quatro anos, quando vislumbrou a face de Deus na janela e deu um grito. Mais tarde, ao passear pelos campos de Peckam, encontrou uma árvore repleta de anjos de asas iridescentes, e num descampado avistou Ezequiel calmamente sentado. Ao relatar estes fatos à mãe, acabou por levar uma surra. Alheio às escolas, leu Swedenborg, Jacob Boheme, Paracelso e livros de ocultismo, enquanto caminhava pelos campos e riachos de Bayswater e Surrey.
Resolveu tornar-se um pintor, mas os altos custos desta arte fizeram-no optar pela técnica da gravura. Seu pai então levou-o ao atelier de Rylands, um dos mais renomados artistas da época, porém, ao fitar-lhe atentamente, Blake segredou ao pai: “Não gosto da cara deste homem, tem todo o jeito de quem vai morrer na forca”. E doze anos depois cumpriu-se a sua profecia.
Passa a ler Spencer, os Elizabetanos, Locke, Bacon e Winnckelmann. Freqüenta o estúdio de Basire, onde inicia-se na arte da gravura. Aos 21 anos, mestre em sua arte, começa a viver como gravurista. Conhece Catherine Boucher, com quem se casa a 18 de agosto de 1782.
Em 1784, associa-se a James Parker e abre um atelier de impressão. Imprimia seus livros como fazia suas gravuras. Os textos vinham sempre acompanhados de ilustrações e o autor fazia questão de diferenciar uma cópia da outra, tomando cada uma um exemplar único.
Do Livro de Urizen, existem seis reproduções diferentes que, embora possuindo o mesmo texto, diferem quanto à coloração e ilustrações. Independente dos preconceituosos editores de sua época, gravava e imprimia livremente seu trabalho, através de minucioso domínio técnico da arte da gravura, da qual foi um revolucionário. Em 1787, desenvolve um método totalmente novo de prensagem que, além de outras inovações, permitia utilizar todos os matizes de cor possíveis. Este insólito processo, denominado “Impressão iluminada”, foi realizado inspirado numa visão do espectro de seu falecido irmão Robert, que revelou-lhe então o bizarro engenho.
Em 1800, deixa Londres e parte para Felphan, no condado de Sussex, onde passa a residir num “cottage”. lá desenvolve o poema “Milton” e inicia uma série de gravuras encomendadas por William Hayley, com quem acabará por se incompatibilizar.
A Inglaterra entra em guerra com a França, e uma onda de patriotismo varre o pais. O poeta envolve-se numa discussão com um soldado, e é levado à corte sob a acusação de agressão e de proferir injúrias, sendo absolvido em 1804. Após este desagradável incidente, retorna a Londres, onde decide entregar-se totalmente à arte, pois pensa ter aprendido com Hayley a maneira de enriquecer às custas do próprio trabalho. Porém, logo desilude-se e enfrenta uma de suas maiores crises financeiras.
A pedido do gravurista Gromek, ilustra “The Grave” que, sob seus protestos, será gravado por Schiavonetti. Por uma mísera quantia, o desonesto Gromek adquire os desenhos do poeta, feitos especialmente para os “Canterburry Pilgrims”, de Chaucer, e os descreve (ou provavelmente os mostra) a Stothard, que criará suas gravuras inspirado nestas informações.
Os “Canterbury Pilgrims”, de Stothard, são expostos com grande sucesso de público e crítica. Gromek então envia uma carta insultuosa a Blake.
A 19 de malo de 1809, o poeta expõe seus “Canterbury Pilgrims”, originais. mostra que recebe um discreto número de pessoas e torna-se alvo de uma terrível crítica do periódico “The Examiner”. Blake, sentindo-se desprezado e injustiçado, continua a escrever “Jerusalém” e modifica o título do poema “Vala” para “Os Quatro Zoas”. Em 1812, exibe seus trabalhos na Associação dos Aquarelistas e, entre graves problemas financeiros, sobrevive graças às ilustrações que faz para o catálogo das porcelanas Wedgwood. O poema “Jerusalém”, finalizado em 1812, é muito bem recebido nos meios culturais e, cercado pelos amigos e jovens artistas admiradores de sua obra, passa seus últimos anos, morrendo em 1827, quando iniciava a impressão de seu “Dante”.

he Marriage of Heaven and Hell William Blake
The following entry presents criticism of Blake's prophetic prose poem The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1790-93). See also, Jerusalem: The Emanation of the Giant Albion Criticism.
INTRODUCTION
The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, started in 1790 but probably not completed until 1793, represents for many critics William Blake's finest achievement and certainly his most innovative work both thematically and stylistically. It not only broke with the past on many levels but was also an important first step in the articulation of Blake's philosophy and the creation of his new universe, both of which would be expanded in the writing that followed, particularly The First Book of Urizen (1794) and The Four Zoas (1796-1807?). The Marriage of Heaven and Hell defies easy interpretation just as it defies neat categorization as any one genre. Thus, commentary has focused as much on the structure of the text as on its influences and themes.
Biographical Information
Blake had established himself as an author and engraver during the previous decade and had produced the treatises There Is No Natural Religion and All Religions Are One around 1788 using his unique method of illuminated printing. Songs of Innocence and The Book of Thel followed the next year. Although his time-consuming process of engraving, printing, and hand-coloring each copy produced texts of extraordinary beauty, circulation was necessarily limited, which prevented Blake from achieving either the reputation or the income level his work properly merited. His early association with Emanuel Swedenborg's New Church—the extent of which is still debated—provided one of the most important influences on The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. Blake's disenchantment with the increasing rigidity of Swedenborg and his followers made them the primary targets for much of The Marriage's parody and satire. Meanwhile, his political philosophy took shape within a circle that included some of the leading radicals of the day, such as Joseph Priestley and Thomas Paine.
Major Themes
The Marriage of Heaven and Hell is a satiric attack on orthodoxy in general and on the Swedenborgians in particular, but it is also an extended description of the educational and developmental process by which the poet-prophet is created. In addition, it is a revolutionary prophecy, written against the historical backdrop of political upheaval in America and in France. The Marriage begins with a poem, "The Argument," in which Blake introduces his prophetic character Rintrah; it ends with another poem, "A Song of Liberty," in which Blake celebrates revolution and foresees a new age of political and religious freedom. Between these two poems is a series of prose doctrinal statements, each followed by a "Memorable Fancy," which comments on the preceding statement while parodying Swedenborg's "Memorable Relations" from the latter's Heaven and Hell. Throughout the work, Blake presents a series of contraries—Heaven and Hell, Good and Evil, Angel and Devil, Reason and Energy—but then appears to reverse the traditional values associated with each term, thus celebrating Energy, Evil, and even Satan himself. Most critics today reject such a reading as simplistic and insist that, rather than merely inverting the terms of the contraries, Blake was questioning both terms and exploring the limitations of each. The "Proverbs of Hell" section contains some of the most outrageous and most widely-quoted passages of the entire text, among them: "The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom," "The tygers of wrath are wiser than the horses of instruction," and "Sooner murder an infant in its cradle than nurse unacted desires."
Critical Reception
The critical debate surrounding The Marriage of Heaven and Hell has been varied and heated over the last one hundred years and shows no sign of abating. Critics differ on the degree of irony Blake employed in some of his bolder statements, questioning when Blake is speaking ironically as the Devil and when he is speaking as himself. They disagree on whether Blake was an innovative revolutionary who mercilessly ridiculed dogmatic religion and rebelled against convention in both art and politics, or if he was merely one of many products of his revolutionary times.
Another area of intense critical debate involves the various influences on the author and, in turn, on the text. Swedenborg's Heaven and Hell is the most obvious source and target of The Marriage's satire and parody. Although Blake directs some barbs at Milton as well, critics seem to agree that their tone is one of gentle irony as opposed to the vicious ridicule he reserves for Swedenborg. Other critics have suggested the writings of Boehme and Paracelsus as inspirations for The Marriage, as well as Lavater's Aphorisms on Man, Spenser's The Faerie Queen, and Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France. In terms of form, The Marriage has been called "structureless," but it has also been compared to "the A B A of the ternary form in music"; in this structure, the development of a first theme is followed by the development of a second theme. The work then returns to the first theme (or some variation of it). Others scholars have claimed that the poem draws on dialectic, on a well-established satiric tradition, on the elementary school primer, and on the chapbooks and political tracts of the time. Still other critics insist that it stands alone in its structure and that there has been nothing like it before or since.

The Tiger
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forest 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 watered heaven with their tears,
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the lamb make thee?
Tyger! Tyger! burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

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, & what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & 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?
Tyger Tyger burning bright,
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

Round bulb string lights are strung over head. We used a combination of our square wood tables with round seating tables. The wood chairs were rented from a Cincinnati rental company. We worked with Ty Kuppig of Tyger Productions this year for this event. The design was his creation with the client and we helped to pull it all together and ready for the party.
