    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?

      Belated comment. Is this where this started? V cool yes.

      But when I belatedly saw this particular link, my first thought was that it was a different version where the 'images' would be:
      'tiger.jpg' 'diff_tiger.jpg' 'fire.png' 'bright.gif', etc.

      (And I thought that's what kk+ was referring to too!).

      Excellent!
      I just started a new group called Dead Poets Society, and would love to have your photo added to the group. Thanks!
