| Franz Marc, The Tiger, 1912 |
A homily given at St Stephen's Rochester Row at Evensong on Sunday 21st February 2022 based on the readings from Genesis 1.1 - 2.3 and Matthew 6.25-34
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?
Tyger
Tyger burning bright,
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?
