Poetry: "The Tyger" by William Blake ‖ Dame Helen Mirren

"The Tyger" by William Blake

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 and 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?

A tigris - Szabó Lőrinc fordítása

Tigris! Tigris! Éjszakánk
erdejében sárga láng,
mely örök kéz szabta rád
rettentő szimetriád?

Milyen katlan, mily egek
mélyén gyúlt ki a szemed?
Szárnyra mily harc hőse kelt,
aki e tűzhöz nyúlni mert?

Milyen váll és mily müvész
fonta szíved izmait? És
mikor elsőt vert szived,
milyen kar s láb bírt veled?

Milyen pőröly? mily vasak?
Mily kohóban forrt agyad?
Mily üllőre mily marok
törte gyilkos terrorod?

S amikor befejezett,
mosolygott rád a mestered?
Te voltál, amire várt?
Aki a Bárányt, az csinált?

Tigris! Tigris! éjszakánk
erdejében sárga láng,
mely örök kéz szabta rád
rettentő szimetriád?
