- Lamb and Tyger, according to Blake, are two contrary states of human mind. He composes two landscapes, one of a happy valley, and another, forest of the night, to make us question the design of our existence. Let's pay a visit to his madness.

This is so helpful. Professor's at college don't cover the entire syllabus but here I can get what they skipped
Omg, how deep, Need to listen to your lecture once again for everything to seep in. Both the poems, on the surface of it looks easy and gentle like a Lamb, but when asked to read between the lines, there's Tiger-like intensity and ferocity.
Before falling from the heaven by pre fallen God , Satan was innocent like a lamb but after falling from Heaven by post fallen God , Satan becomes sublime like a tiger that is experienced by the Man
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This channel deserves millions likes ❤
Thanks a lot Ma'am ! We are very much helpful that you are supporting us as you can do till the end.💙💙💙🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm glad mam.. In CZcams there is someone like you... Who can explain things so well. In my eyes you are the best mam.
Ma'am honestly saying that I don't concentrate in my tuition or college classes keeping in mind that there you are to solve all the difficulties 🙏😊... Lot of gramercy ma'am ... You have just made it lucid to us ❤️😊...
Blake has been analysed as an Apocalyptic poet , Harold Bloom wrote a book , Blake's Apocalypse (1963) . Thank you for the insightful lecture.
You are a life saver ma'am, thank you so much!
Such an insightful lecture, thank you so much ma'am.
Thank you ma'am for uploading such videos. Ma'am your explanation is so beautiful with minute details.Whenever I read this poem I feel that Blake was not only a poet but also a great painter.Ma'am you recited the poem very well. Thank you ma'am. Ma'am the presentation is really mesmerizing.
It also feels like, in the lamb imagery that other lambs merge into the background bcz they aren't as innocent. The child and lamb who are innocent shine different, stand out. Bcz in God's perfect world, these two are the frontiers. God loves innocence. And hence they are in the front, clearly visible.
Presentation is as usually superb.
Best ever explaination!
I had read these poem so many times every time there is some new thing I discoverd.
I always thought these as ideology of Dev and Danav but this video made me think in new direction, a whole new perspective.
Mam, your explanation is what made me finally understand this two poem .... I was so lost about what it is.... Really thus helped me so much

Ma'am we have Geoffrey Chaucer's The Wife of Bath , RK Narayan's Swami and Friends in our 2nd semester syllabus . It will be very helpful if you kindly make explanation videos for the two texts.
Amazing lesson. Thank you very much.
"Implie speaker is a constructor, image of the poet.
The speaker is a child.
Who is the creator of the lamb?
The creator gives life, food, clothing and voice.
The creator is always protecting his creation with ideas about how to live, how to feed, how to sing, how to enjoy life.
So the creator has this plan for the lamb.
Adam and Even only used clothing after they have performed the sin.
God became a little child when he was born into the world.
john 29 Jesus is called the lamb of God who's take away the sins of the world.
Jesus is link to child is a young person just as a lamb is a young sheep".
Woww just wow how beautifully you explained vagbat gita's context of incarnation and other examples too. i got clear concept of these two poems thank you so much ma'am ❤🙏lots of respect.

Many common areas are there. Search for topics you need, may be we have already covered many
Ma'am plz upload my last Duchess by Robert Browning.. it's my earnest request to you because I have the internal on this topic🙏
First of all, I've been following you ma'am for quite long now. I love the way you explain every bit of context. Ma'am can you upload videos about London and The Little Black Boy by William Blake too please?
I have exams coming up and as always your videos are really helpful mam , and thank you for putting so much effort and also quoting the Bible too.
And there are a few things I would love to add , it is absolutely true that Jesus died and rose from the dead to bring us forgiveness, but that is actually not just given, it is offered, a person must repent of their sins , and put their faith in Jesus (not in their own righteousness, karma) in order to recieve it.
Jesus actually is the Creator of this world, the Bible doesn't contradict itself,
In genesis we see that God says let "us" make man in "our" image.
And we see that God spoke everything into being.
And then again in the new testament John 1 we see that, in the begining "The Word" already existed, The Word was with God, and "The Word was God.
God created everything through Him and without Him not anything made(lamb and tyger ,child and us) that was made.
The Word became fresh(human body) and lived among us. Which is Jesus.
So Jesus obviously existed in the begining, before mankind was their. And He is God.
We also see Jesus saying before Abraham was " I AM" which is His eternal state. And that is also God's name.
Jesus also says that "The Father and I are One! And He is equal to God. Cause the Bible says the True God is 1 God in three persons, God The Father, God The Son, God The Holy Spirit.
* and Adam and Eve were innocent but not like a weak child, God had given man authority over everything, which we lost after the fall. This change from innocence to experience wasn't a good one, much like I would was my child to stay innocent from the fact that the knife we eat fruits with, can kill people.
So God was heartbroken by the fall. Though He brought restoration through Jesus, but the world which He made and called everything " good" isn't how we have it now,
We live in a world of pain death decay sin and suffering, all results of mans sin! Not the fallen world God created. Cause many people are atheists because of pain which *man* is responsible for.
And God did give us free will, like He had given to Adam and Eve, to eat that fruit or not, a lot a wife would give her husband go out and be in the world, where there is temptations to cheat but out of his choice he would stay loyal.
In. Lamb we see , who can make thee? A God who must be so gentle (which we see Jesus referring to Himself as gentle and lowly in heart) and in Tyger, who can dare make you? A God who must be majestic!
But in both places we see design and purpose and God's ambition. In Psalms it says I praise you God because I am fearfully and wonderfully made, not an accident but with details nd needs and qualities , both the Lamb , The Tyger and this whole creation, fearfully nd wonderfully made, which can never be the result of an explosion or just evolution which we assume it to be, we see order and design and of course God's heart behind it.
Which He simply spoke into being , That's how majestic His Word, Jesus is, giving details to The lamb ,the Tyger and to you n I.
And everything was material and spiritual from the begining, God gave man a body and a spirit from the begining.
And God is actually mentioned in the Bible as a Consuming Fire! He is passionate and zealous for His creation , we aren't to compare Him with a sinful wicked satan that's blasphemy.
The devil is our enemy, the course of evil , corruption in this world, and he has no part with God, God is Light, there is no sin and darkness in Him. He is pure, the opposite of the devil.
And am so sorry if you or anyone have suffered from religious people, we all have.
Jesus Himself questioned the traditions, challenged authority, not good but corrupted ones, man made rules which is really hypocrisy underneath, andHe , our Lord, like you pointed out, was slandered as a mad man, but He never questioned scriptures and showed us what God meant through Scriptures, where God desires a repentant heart mourning for its sins, rather than one that claims to be righteousness, which none of us are.
The commandments are their to show us how sinful we are, cause God knows we can't obey them perfectly and go to heaven, which is why He gave us Jesus, The way and The Truth.
I hope this helps anyone who is searching for answer, and I hope you read this mam. Thank you 💙
Very enlightening. Thank you for putting so much effort. May God bless you in your deeds. ❤️
Ma'am am in the 4th semester from wbsu and I prepared William Blake's poetries what else I need to prepare??
Which paper? Cc8? If you have done Blake you don't have to do London.
Madam, I want to know that, what is the meaning of the rape of the lock?

@@NibblePop okay madam.

Two, the character of bilinda in the rape of the lock?
Three, the supernatural machineries of the rape of the lock?

It would be helpful for us if you will do thank you.
Previously I was puzzled adout Lord Rama's being a person with flaws. After hearing this lecture my doubts have become cleared. Yes even Gods have dark sides, not necessarily are they satanic powers.
Ma'am I don't understand the concept of los and sol, but I really want to understand that
Mam, as here we see the most important question rather to say a suspicion is being created that how could be the same creator of the 'Lamb' and the 'Tyger' as both are completely different from another, the more innocent the lamb is, the more fearful the tyger is.
What will be the answer of the question as there is no answer mentioned in the poem, it's all about questions one after another.
Moreover, why Blake forces to make us think about the contradiction?
Is it because of he is trying to give us the touch of the power of God or the Creator that nothing is impossible for Him, all the qualities of handling according to the situation, adjustment capacity, creating capacity fit with the circumstances, behaviour all He possesses within (better will be not trying to define Him as He is the one, the unique, unexplainable).
Thanks for this video..mam
Can you make a video on Lady of shallot......

Hey! Love your videos but just intrigued to know the story behind the channel's name :p
Taking small bites of a popsicle - a very casual image like this perhaps came to mind. It was random. Tried to avoid words like 'English' and 'literature'.
Make video on the hollow men
Mam please make video on "in custody" by Anita Desai
Excellent lecture Maam
Maam ,plz take few classes on hamlet...
This is an out of context question Ma'am. You said that Blake was such a spirited believer of God that he knew that the commandments written down are all false ideas and only take one away from God. Then, if one does not follow what is written in the holy books, then how is one supposed to know about the history of Gods and what to do to reach Them? I am not sure if I actually understood what you wanted to say and apologize if I asked something wrong.
Imagination my dear, it is all through imagination. For a romantic , imagination is the road to divinity
Make a video about 'London' by Samuel Johnson
Please 🙏 mam please 🙏
Ma'am what have you told after telling They worship Jesus as God. Then the word is Inca..... are often considered to be divine. I couldn't understand in the discussion of the poem 'The Lamb'. Please write me the word.
Incarnation. What we in Hinduism call "avatar"
@@NibblePop Thanks ma'am.
Ma'am what is the concept of fallen angel ?? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
It' has some reference in the poems.
In the Bible, Fallen angels is mentioned. The Bible tells that a war broke out in heaven between Lucifer ( was an Archangel but now Satan /Devil) and Archangel Michael . Lucifer rebelled against God. Lucifer had some other angels on his side (supported him). Lucifer and his angels were defeated . THEY were thrown down from Heaven . They are the fallen angels. U can read in the Bible. Book of Isaiah chapter 14 verse 12to17 .
Thanks mam ! Mam please make a video on John Done as metaphysical poet
Mam you always like my comment but don't make video on which I want . Neither you made video on Hyperion nor you made a video on Shelley ap poet of nature
🌼 🌸
As the Lamb represents innocence and Jesus. So its creator will also possess that and as the Lamb and the humans are made by one God, the innocence of the Lamb is also present in us?
Yes
Madam, Adam and Eve were tempted to take the fruit of knowledge and they had taken it. From this aspect can we say that before the fall, the elements of fall were present in them even when they were enjoying the pre - fallen state ?
No, because Satan after the battle in Heaven fell with other angels on earth and Then tempted Eve . Adam and Eve had no idea of sin at all. The Bible tells that Sin began in Heaven first that is in mind of Satan. He rebelled against God.

I got confused a little at a point. You said God created symmetrical figure which Blake could not draw and then you said perfect symmetry only exists in your imagination. So, did you want to say that it is only possible for Gods to make perfect symmetry (by making the tyger) which is a dareful and imaginative task for humans (illustration by Blake)?
Imagination =divinity.
ISC elective Eng students here?
Ma'am why is the spelling of tiger written Tyger? Why Y instead of I ??
To make an emphasis, a sort of poetic effect that it generates.
Another point is that, back in 1790s , both spellings existed. Blake chose the one he liked more.
Thank you, ma'am
