The Tyger, The Lamb, & The Mill In William Blake

Abstract: A 5 page paper discussing how the use of image or metaphor in three of William Blake's poems can both illuminate and cloud his meaning. The paper shows that if the concepts being alluded to are well-known and well-understood, reference to them enhances the intelligibility of the poem, but if the sources are themselves obscure, reference to them only makes the poem more difficult to understand. No additional sources cited.
