Penny Rock - I spent the morning in the woods. Despite this little example, the overwhelming colour of the canopy is still green. Those beech leaves which had turned a few days ago are now mostly on the floor after the recent winds. #capturewithconfidence #lakedistrict #grasmere #wordsworth
“Come forth, and bring with you a heart
That watches and receives.”

And dances with the Daffodils.”

Forgot the theme tune, lost the plot, but remembered the music! 🎶 This week's Wordsworth features bluesy harmonicas, bonkers banjos, rock, folk, swing and a few questionable memories. An hour of Choons and Chat from the Cheery Chap! 🎸
Pedestrian musings measured in feet
Or firecrackers spitting sparks
Emotion recollected in tranquility
Muses abound. "What larks!"
"My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!"
William Wordsworth (1802)

"The budding twigs spread out their fan,
To catch the breezy air;
And I must think, do all I can,
That there was pleasure there."
William Wordsworth (1798)

Our walk along the Under Loughrig road this morning #googlepixel9 #snapseed #autumn #lakedistrict #wordsworth
Come forth into the light of things,
Let Nature be your teacher.

"It is a beauteous evening, calm and free,
The holy time is quiet as a Nun
Breathless with adoration; the broad sun
Is sinking down in its tranquility;"
William Wordsworth (1802)

Le grand savant Marc Dominicy ne voit pas de rapport entre le vers et le langage poétique. Pour lui cela relève du mystère, si même il y en a un. Mais cherche-t-il dans la bonne direction? Réflexion. #poésie #méditation #vers #sommeil #rêve #Coleridge #Wordsworth
