Which poet is famous for lines 'Tyger, Tyger burning bright'?

• A. Shelley
• B. Poe
• C. Blake
• D. Burns

Answer: (C)

You’re being tested on recognizing which poet wrote a famous line by its vivid, powerful imagery. That line opens a poem by William Blake, The Tyger, which is part of Songs of Experience (1794). Blake uses striking, almost ceremonial diction and bold imagery to probe who could have created such a powerful, dangerous creature, pairing it conceptually with The Lamb from Songs of Innocence to contrast experience and innocence. The rhythm, alliteration in “Tyger Tyger,” and the awe-filled questions convey Blake’s distinctive voice and philosophical tone, making this line one of his most recognizable. Not Shelley, not Poe, not Burns wrote this line.
