and learning a poem such as The Tyger (note William Blake’s archaic spelling) is as good a place as any to begin. This is not just a poem about a tiger; it is thought to have a political sub-plot which involves revolution, and possibly the defeat of the British at York Town in 1781 during the American War of Independence.
