This poem, alongwith The Lamb, is so famous in academics here, I had to go through it in the high school, in my graduation and again in the Post graduation.
Then I can't remember how many times I had taught it, recited it, quoted it, made refrence of... It's on my tongue.

This poem scares me.
One of my long-standing favorites.
How can the same force craft both the gentle lamb and the fierce tiger? It’s like Blake’s asking if divine creation has a shadow side.
