tigre

toi ruisselant de tous tes feux

dans la trouée rare

tant et plus ovalement et

fauve

tigre blanc

d'écume

deux fois tigre par la cruauté du sang

dis par le velours de ton cœur divin parfumé d'outrances

et dis par ton œil d'un flou vert doré de distances

tigre

dis

qui donc d'un bond t'a doué de tant de puissance ô

tigre harmonie rêvée du crime

symétrie sauvage

qui parfois te perds dans un tendre agenouillement

* En pensant à The Tyger de William Blake *

The Tyger

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 sieze 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 ?

Songs of Experience, 1794

The Lamb

Little Lamb who made thee

Dost thou know who made thee

Gave thee life & bid thee feed.

By the stream & o'er the mead ;

Gave thee clothing of delight,

Softest clothing wooly 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 & he is mild,

He became a little child:

I a child & thou a lamb,

We are called by his name.

Little Lamb God bless thee.

Little Lamb God bless thee.

Songs of Innocence, 1789
