Tyger, Tyger, 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?
A few years ago I noticed a tiger prowling around the outside of the solar system and it rather seemed to be the same as described by Blake. There seemed no reason to interact with it so I left it be.
A couple of days ago a friend asked about a wall hanging she was trying to design but without much success. Immediately I saw a triangle with curved striations coming from the sides.
And I had some sense of it being an eye.
And there was the Tyger wanting to look into the room through the wall hanging.
So I had a look at the Tyger and there he was in the cosmos dipping a paw into the cosmic ocean to catch the fish that is our solar system. (I made the solar system into a goat - capricorn - to test and the Tyger had no interest)
Now the wall hanging is for a fish scientist.
And I looked again at the Tyger and he opened his mouth and moved to draw the fish of the solar system towards his mouth. And the Tyger was emanating streaks of fire - just like the poem.
So then I went on line to see Blake's depiction

When I expand that image the eye of the tiger looks rather strange - even like a triangle. And of course that was my starting point - the eye of the Tyger as a triangle
So here we have not the eye in the triangle but the triangle in the eye
Blake continues to improve in my esteem
