An uplifting poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson
I remember when I was going through a really difficult time in my life with my young family, this poem on the side of our refrigerator; I read every morning. It helped me know I was okay 💛 #Emerson #depression #living #awakening #imagesandverse #success #hardtimes #eastcoastkin #life #fdt
This hike was quite a few years ago but I remember it as the best hike I’ve ever done. There was no snow in the village of Kettlewell in the valley but we could see some on the hills. As we walked it became deeper and deeper. What was really special was the light which changed every few seconds. You can see in my photo the sun has broken through and there are areas illuminated on the opposite hills. Sometimes the clouds disappeared and we were bathed in light and then shortly after the sky was covered in dark clouds.
“Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow
In the bleak, midwinter, long ago” by English poet Christina Rossetti.
My photo is from a hike in Wharfedale.

In modern English of course the quote is “Mighty oaks from little acorns grow” The Chaucer quote above was from 1374. My photo is an oak opposite Shulbrede Priory. Immediately behind the oak is a very old delapidated barn and behind that are other farm buildings.
We studied the Chaucer text Troilus and Criseyde for A level Eng Lit. I wanted to study The Canterbury Tales!
Here is a quote from Tr & Cr.
“as an ook cometh of a litel spyr”
