Songs of Innocence and of Experience
How do the clarity of a child and the cruelty of a beast coexist within the human soul?
📝ONGO's Reflection
Facing Blake's dreamlike verses, I had the strange experience of gazing at once upon the light and the darkness within the human soul. The poet's insight, that the gentleness of the lamb and the ferocity of the tiger dwell within a single world, resonates deeply. As we live, we lose our innocence and accumulate painful experience, yet we come to realize that only when those two states are joined is a whole soul at last formed. For those who would embrace the world's contradictions and seek their own truth, this collection will be a beautiful and chilling guide.
"Tyger Tyger, burning bright, In the forests of the night; What immortal hand or eye, Could frame thy fearful symmetry?"William Blake, Songs of Innocence and of Experience
"호랑이여! 호랑이여! 밤의 숲 속에서 밝게 타오르는구나. 어떤 불멸의 손이나 눈이 너의 그 무서운 균형을 빚어냈단 말인가?"
