“And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the Daffodils.”
William Wordsworth, I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

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)

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)

"Thou art a dew-drop, which the morn brings forth,
Ill fitted to sustain unkindly shocks,
Or to be trailed along the soiling earth;
A gem that glitters while it lives"
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
