老虎

“老虎”的形象本身，也包含了多重的意蕴。在诗中吟咏动物，在“咏物诗”的传统中是一种常见的类型，老虎也是古今中外很多文学家钟爱的对象。然而，布莱克书写的与其说是一只真实的老虎，毋宁说是一只不存在的老虎，它直接从诗人的想像中跳出，是一种精神、一种力量的化身。因而，这首诗一方面在听觉、视觉上充满了具体的感性，在内涵上还是有些抽象的，不只是简单地描摹一只猛兽。是“虎”又非“虎”，这也为我们的理解带来了丰富的可能。 这首诗的写作年代，正是法国大革命爆发的时期，布莱克本人也是这场革命热烈的支持者。一种解释，就是着眼于它的时代背景和政治内涵，将“老虎”看作是革命力量的象征，它摧毁了“黑暗森林”一样的旧制度，诗人赞颂的正是这种摧枯拉朽、创造新世界的革命力量。这种解释当然很有道理，但设想一下，如果一个读者对上述时代背景一无所知，也仍然能被诗歌中的节奏和力量所感染，对“老虎”的理解，似乎也不必如此实在

Therefore, on the one hand this poem on the auditory, visual, filled with the concrete perceptual, or some abstract on the connotation, not simply depict a beast of prey. Is \"tiger\" and the \"tiger\may for our understanding.

S the poem writing, it is the period of French revolution, Blackburn are also enthusiastic supporters of the revolution. One explanation, is the era background and political connotation, focuses on it will be a symbol of \"tiger\" as the revolutionary forces, it destroyed the old system of \"black forest\was devastating. The explanation makes sense, of course, but imagine, if a reader know nothing about the time background, and still can be infected by the rhythm of poetry and power, the understanding of \"tiger\
