For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Gorgeous day out today, even if it was a bit chilly. Thrilled to see the soft leaves of this horse chestnut tree unfolding into the sunlight. Turns out #Wordsworth captured this moment in poetry

How strange that all
The terrors, pains, and early miseries,
Regrets, vexations, lassitudes interfused
Within my mind, should e'er have borne a part
And that a needful part, in making up
The calm existence that is mine when I
Am worthy of myself!"
- #Wordsworth, 'The Prelude,' Book 1
#WORDSWORTH ON OUR OWN TRUE NECESSITY
"Dust as we are, the immortal spirit grows
Like harmony in music; there is a dark
Inscrutable workmanship that reconciles
Discordant elements, makes them cling together
In one society.

I always loved Cleo since I was a kid.
I'll be drawing her more often for sure.

“The most alluring clouds that mount the sky
Owe to a troubled element their forms,
Their hues to sunset. If with raptured eye
We watch their splendor, shall we covet storms”
William Wordsworth (1842)

What #Wordsworth feared as estrangement, we now experience as consequence.
What we need to recover is not innocence, but responsibility: the capacity to act as if the world were not merely there to be used, but something that suckles us, a source of meaning, obligation, and limits

I was moved to record Shelley’s brilliantly measured take-down of his former inspiration, Wordsworth

📖 #Poem of the week: To #Wordsworth by Percy Bysshe #Shelley
The radical young poet’s backhanded tribute to the older writer is a stern judgment on his lapsed political idealism

What's your fave #writing tool? Can be tech, old school item - whatever helps the words. Mine? My #Wordsworth #FountainPen - there's just something about the feeling of scratching the Ancient Copper ink on a page as I'm working things out, that's delightful.
