William Blake | Pittore Simbolista / Romantico

Tigre! Tigre! divampante fulgore

Nelle foreste della notte,

Quale fu l'immortale mano o l'occhio

Ch'ebbe la forza di formare

La tua agghiacciante simmetria?

Amor non cerca di compiacer se stesso

Né per se stesso ha cura

Ma per un altro ogni favor rassegna

E il Cielo erige in un oscuro inferno.
