Platypus and Eagle

 

Tyger, Tyger burning bright,

In the forests of the night:

What immortal hand or eye,

Dare frame thy fearful

Symmetry.

            ~ William Blake

Only Creator has both an immortal hand

and an immortal eye,

able to create beautiful symmetry

in two such disparate creatures

as Platypus

and Eagle.
