The speculating rooks at their nests cawed
And saw from elm tops, delicate as flower of grass,

Rose Acre, Bearsted, Nr. Maidstone
17.X.1902
Dear Gordon Bottomley,
I have just received your letter:
I cannot thank you for it more plainly than by saying that I can write back as easily as wall makes an echo.
But I am in the midst of a heavy piece of work [reviewing] and must not spend any time on your letter and your book, though my thoughts are there – I opened the play and saw

The cherry trees bend over and are shedding
On the old road where all that passed are dead,
Their petals, strewing the grass as for a wedding
This early May morn when there is none to wed.

There's nothing like the sun as the year dies, Kind as it can be, this world being made so, To stones and men and beasts and birds and flies, To all things that it touches except snow, Whether on mountain side or street of town. The south wall warms me: November has begun, Yet never shone the sun as fair as now While the sweet last-left damsons from the bough With spangles of the morning's storm drop down Because the starling shakes it, whistling what Once swallows sang. But I have not forgot That there is nothing, too, like March's sun, Like April's, or July's, or June's, or May's, Or January's, or February's, great days: And August, September, October, and December Have equal days, all different from November. No day of any month but I have said - Or, if I could live long enough, should say - 'There's nothing like the sun that shines today.' There's nothing like the sun till we are dead.

There's Nothing Like the Sun by Edward Thomas

#EdwardThomas
What does it mean? Tired, angry, and ill at ease, No man, woman, or child alive could please Me now. And yet I almost dare to laugh Because I sit and frame an epitaph--- 'Here lies all that no one loved of him And that loved no one.' Then in a trice that whim Has wearied. But, though I am like a river At fall of evening while it seems that never Has the sun lighted it or warmed it, while Cross breezes cut the surface to a file, This heart, some fraction of me, happily Floats through the window even now to a tree Down in the misting, dim-lit, quiet vale, Not like a pewit that returns to wail For something it has lost, but like a dove That slants unswerving to its home and love. There I find my rest, as through the dusk air Flies what yet lives in me: Beauty is there.

Beauty by Edward Thomas
Yes. I remember Adlestrop— The name, because one afternoon Of heat the express-train drew up there Unwontedly. It was late June. The steam hissed. Someone cleared his throat. No one left and no one came On the bare platform. What I saw Was Adlestrop—only the name And willows, willow-herb, and grass, And meadowsweet, and haycocks dry, No whit less still and lonely fair Than the high cloudlets in the sky. And for that minute a blackbird sang Close by, and round him, mistier, Farther and farther, all the birds Of Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire.

I have come to the borders of sleep,
The unfathomable deep
Forest where all must lose
Their way.

After you speak and what you meanti splain
my eyes meet yours that mean
with your cheeks and hair something more wise
more dark, and far different
I know your lust
Is love...📖

Yesterday I visited Dymock and Kempley, unspoilt Gloucestershire villages noted for wonderful displays of wild #daffodils.
Dymock is known too for the colony of Georgian poets who resided in & visited the area between 1911 and 1914. Amongst them were #RobertFrost, #EdwardThomas, & #RupertBrooke.
After you speak and what you meanti s plain
my eyes meet yours that mean
with your cheeks and hair something more wise
more dark, and far different
I know your lust is love...📖
