The Tiger
Da Songs of Experience, 1794
traduzione di G.Ungaretti
La Tigre
Tigre! Tigre! Divampante fulgore
Nelle foreste della notte,
Quale fu l’immortale mano o l’occhio
Ch’ebbe la forza di formare la tua agghiacciante simmetria?
In quali abissi o in quali cieli
Accese il fuoco dei tuoi occhi?
Sopra quali ali osa slanciarsi?
E quale mano afferra il fuoco?
Quali spalle, quale arte
Poté torcerti i tendini del cuore?
E quando il tuo cuore ebbe il primo palpito,
Quale tremenda mano? Quale tremendo piede?
Quale mazza e quale catena?
Il tuo cervello fu in quale fornace?
E quale incudine?
Quale morsa robusta osò serrarne i terrori funesti?
Mentre gli astri perdevano le lance tirandole alla terra
e il paradiso empivano di pianti?
Fu nel sorriso che ebbe osservando compiuto il suo lavoro,
Chi l’Agnello creò, creò anche te?
Tigre! Tigre! Divampante fulgore
Nelle foreste della notte,
Quale mano, quale immortale spia
Osa formare la tua agghiacciante simmetria?
La Tigre
Tiger ! Tiger! Burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder, and what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? And what dread feet?
What the hammer? What the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors grasp?
When the stars threw down their spears,
And water’d heaven with their tears
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
Tiger! Tiger! Burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

- Outlook is grim for mammals and birds as human population growsThe ongoing global growth in the human population will inevitably crowd out mammals and birds and has the potential to threaten hundreds of species with extinction within 40 years, new research shows. […]
- Researchers discover immunity mechanism: Platelets patrolling the bloodstreamScientists have discovered a mechanism that is used to protect the body from harmful bacteria. Platelets, a component of blood typically associated with clotting, were discovered to actively search for specific bacteria, and upon detection, seal it off from the rest of the body. The findings provide the science community with a greater understanding of immun […]
- Older males make better fathers says new research on beetlesResearchers have found that older male burying beetles make better fathers than their younger counterparts. The study found that mature males, who had little chance of reproducing again, invested more effort in both mating and in parental care than younger males. […]
- City slicker or country bumpkin: City-life changes blackbird personalitiesThe origins of a young animal might have a significant impact on its behavior later on in life. Researchers have been able to demonstrate in hand-reared blackbirds that urban-born individuals are less curious and more cautious about new objects than their country counterparts. This study sheds light on an interesting debate on whether personality differences […]
- Contribution of particulate matter from air pollution to forest declineAir pollution is related to forest decline and also appears to attack the protecting wax on tree leaves and needles. Scientists have now discovered a responsible mechanism: particulate matter salt compounds that become deliquescent because of humidity and form a wick-like structure that removes water from leaves and promotes dehydration.
