The Rising Down. Lives in a Landscape by Alexandra Harris.

Next read. I've been looking forward to this one as I loved Weatherland and Romantic Moderns.

Sea Fever ~ John Masefield

I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by;
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.

Surprised cats!

"The curfew tolls the knell of parting day,
The lowing herd wind slowly o'er the lea,
The plowman homeward plods his weary way,
And leaves the world to darkness and to me."

377 years ago, on the 19th of March 1649, the House of Commons of England abolished the House of Lords declaring 'The Commons of England [find] by too long experience that the House of Lords is useless and dangerous to the people of England.' In 1660, it was restored. #otd #history 🗃️

Come live with me and be my love
And we will all the pleasures prove
That valleys, groves hills and fields
Woods or steepy mountain yields
Marlow

With your hand in mine idly we'll recline
Amid bowers of neuroses
While the sun seeks rest in the great red west
We will sit & match psychoses
