...How to pronounce Blake's 'Tyger, Tyger'?
On a burning poetic question
A correspondent writes to ask for an opinion about the pronunciation of the last word in the opening stanza of William Blake's 'The Tyger':
Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
It is, he says, a puzzle that has nagged at him for decades. Should it rhyme or not?
