wtf is the human condition anyway? Isn't all poetry about the human condition?

how can you like it?? it's so stupid, his horror at the tyger comes off as so contrived, so hysterical, such an artifice, he so wants you to believe his depth of terror but you can sense the meaninglessness behind the words. They mean nothing to him, he is posturing, that's the best I can make of it...

> A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.

that is horror, you can feel yeats trembling, not at his words, but at the scope of what he is proposing and the way in which he is doing it
