This changes everything. This discovery makes every modern Nael scholar practically useless. What are the implications of centering the "YES"?

moving the lines unexpectedly is a common way to get an ever so slightly longer pause between them, while further emphasizing the word.

The tiger escapes just like the word escapes, and the tiger is now large and free, just like the word. And the tiger is affirming life with a big YES!

I have no idea. Unfortunately I started with the Greeks, but to understand Nael you need extensive knowledge on oriental philosophy and the Sumerians.

The Tiger poem is leagues ahead of Rupi Kuar's in terms of emotionality
You can picture some slightly chunky, makeup caked Indian woman with a bitchy accent speaking her poems at you and expecting you to love them, but The Tiger has an emotionalism to it that can't be beat. At first, the hushed "Yes" as if the first break of a wave on the shore in the morning, the first murmuring in a crowd about to erupt; however, the "YES" is more mad, more unhinged, like someone who is shocked by what they have seen and can only smile and be in awe at the terror they've witnessed. There's something profoundly human about the whole thing: doing something we shouldn't, being glad it has been done, then marveling in pure terror at the Sublimity of ones action.
However, all is not lost; we are meant to reflect on our actions, to see what they have done, and it is implied that we must become better than what lead us to releasing the tiger in the first place. We have wrought something we didn't intend to on the world by letting the Tiger out, but that doesn't mean we cannot learn from this mistake. Nael perfectly displays humanity's need to redeem itself.
The Tiger better captures the human reaction towards the Sublime than any other work of art I have ever read. He has near Dostoevsky levels of awareness of the human spirit and our need to pick up the pieces of what we have wrought. Rupi's shit can only be "related to" by bitchy millennial women, but Nael's contains the whole of human suffering, wonder, and redemption in a scant 5 lines.

There is truth to this though, i feel that it's so human because he's 6 and is more raw and far less filtered than other humans. He's at the core.

1. Nael is as reddit as a name can be. His parents are obviously making a point about not assuming gender or something.

2. Tiger is a reference to The Tyger. Which is the ultimate reddit poem.

This was most probably written by Nael's nu male cuck dad.

1) Nael is the name of the greatest poet of the 21st century so you better show some respect.
2) "The Tyger" is a fine poem but unrelated. Nael is a pure creative genius. Without being familiar with the canon, he nonetheless manages to exceed all its greatest efforts.

someone post the nael greentext, please.

Nael is clearly a male name.
The two common theories for it's meaning are the following:
1. In Arabic it means (roughly) "He, whose labour bears fruit"
2. In Brittanny, it is commonly used as a short form for Nathanaël, which comes from Hebrew and means "Given by God"

I would like to put forth another theory, however.
Consider the following bible verse (Ex. 4:16, ESV):
>He shall speak for you to the people, and he shall be your mouth, and you shall be as God to him.
Specifically the words "as God to him", there in the Hebrew you find the word "Elohim".
I posit that Nael could be a contraction of Nathan Elohim. Compare this to Nathan the Wise, a famous figure of enlightenment thought, known for his ring parable in which he advocates for religious tolerance. Nael, or Nathan the Divine, on the other hand, stands for gnosis, the knowledge that wisdom cannot exist independent of the divine. Nael stands for the dark enlightenment.

Nael is a redpilled name by any standard.

This guy just stepped it up yet another notch

Also, echoing Bettelheim, could it be that the Tiger (or Tyger) is actually Nael *himself*, desperate and feverish to break himself out of the cage of childhood?

The tiger is a metaphor for 'man' who has broken free from his cage - comprised of spooks.
