Poems, published by Blake in 1794, for example, "Tyger", reflects his reaction to the Terror. The famous poem "Tyger" is a hymn of humility, it gives an extraordinary expressiveness to the images of "Tyger" - it is a bundle of furious energy. (Blake) But "Tyger" has a vicious rage, which - so it seemed to Blake, - may be given to overcome the misguidance and evil of the world rather than Christian humility and love. And who knows whether humanity demands the energy, darted through the dark thickets of self-deceptions and dogmas to come to the light of genuine truths? There is a need to understand that Blake is asking the question about who created the Tyger and why.
In the former William Blake's poetry under the image of a Tyger meant the evil force that was opposed to the meek lamb (God). There are the opposites (the Good and the Evil), but the sinister beauty of the Tyger is a necessary part of the world order, as well as the meekness of the lamb because one cannot exist without the other. Who created the Tyger? God or Devil? What fire, heaven or hell, burns in his sight — that is the fundamental question of the poem. Blake does not give a direct answer, but it is implied that the Tyger was created by the Devil, he is the Creator equal with God. Tyger inspires not only horror, but also admiration, developed by Hell; the Tyger isn't Evil in the traditional sense, but a fierce and beautiful Energy, the force that can be in charge of all the development.
"Lion's Roar" awakens the sense of "impossible": no one can give him an explanation, accessible to human reason. No matter whether we're talking about the lion, the wolf or the tiger, all the wild beasts, in which Blake saw "elements of eternity," proclaim that awakens that hidden lulling movement of poetic language (which forms insoluble visibility solution, but a cruel truth - the screen, it's hiding). In short, the comment that is not limited by the fact that clarifies that the comment is not necessary and not possible removes us from truth itself, then by itself it comes nearer to it, that is, sets a screen, scattering its light.
