Read this tiger poem to feel better.

>> No.21844449

I don't really get it
There's things like the person who made the tiger and then there's another figure and then there's the tiger himself
Is the Icarian figure seeking some secret knowledge that went into the tiger?
>When the stars threw down their spears
>And water'd heaven with their tears:
>Did he smile his work to see?
This makes me think of the rebellion, maybe the rebellious angels are afraid of the tiger
Where are the spears being thrown?

Is Jesus the tiger?
