The skin of a tiger is used to cure fevers and curses, and the genitalia are used as aphrodisiacs. Sadly, no scientific corrorboration exists about the validity of ANY of these beliefs, so these animals are being killed for no good reason.
2. The poem, 'The Tyger', one of the most famous in English literature, was written by William Blake.

And with 12 correct, Secret Squirrel wins!! Good job, Squirrel!!!! ;-D (Hands Squirrel a large bag of Orange Pekoe tea, and a cuddly stuffed animal tiger!!) Congratulations!! ;-)

lol that took so long to work out... *drumroll* Cynderbear by the oh so narrowest of margins from Greyling.

....................Wuthering Heights.....................

Out on the wiley, windy moors
Wed roll and fall in green.
You had a temper like my jealousy:
Too hot, too greedy.
How could you leave me,
When I needed to possess you?
I hated you. I loved you, too.

................ Kate Bush ........................

Since today is after all today:
"By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires:
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive."

I demand a recount!! (sorry Cynder).
