The knight, in the beginning, coming to behold the sudden appearance of this new beauty, came to be holden and surprised somewhat with the sight thereof; after much more with her witty and graceful speech. His ear also had him chained unto her, so as finally his heart seemed to say I could gladly yield to be tied for ever with the knot of her love. She, on the other part, finding him to be then married, rejected his speech of love; but yet she showed not to scorn, for the general favour and good will she perceived all men to bear him, might rather occasion others to turn their looks to that which a man of his worth was brought to gaze at in her, as, indeed there after happened. - George Cavendish, The Life of Cardinal Wolsey (c. 1554)

"Anne and Wyatt shared a love of poetry and literature. They were intellectual equals who engaged in lively conversations about politics, religion, and the arts." - Eric Ives, "The Life and Death of Anne Boleyn"
Anne Boleyn and Thomas Wyatt had a close friendship that has been the subject of much speculation over the years. They were both members of the intellectual circle at court, and they shared a love of poetry and literature. Some historians believe that they may have been romantically involved, but there is no concrete evidence to support this theory. Yet Thomas was one of Anne's closest confidants, and he was a loyal supporter throughout her rise and fall at court. He wrote several poems about her, including "Whoso List to Hunt," which is believed to be a coded message about his love for her. In the poem, Wyatt compares Anne to a deer that he can never catch, suggesting that he is unable to win her heart.
"Anne Boleyn and Thomas Wyatt were kindred spirits who shared a love of literature and the arts. Their friendship was a rare and precious thing in a world dominated by politics and intrigue." - Joanna Denny, "Anne Boleyn: A New Life of England's Tragic Queen"
"Anne and Wyatt's relationship was a source of gossip at court, and many speculated that they were more than just friends. However, there is no evidence to suggest that their relationship was anything but platonic." - Retha M. Warnicke, "The Rise and Fall of Anne Boleyn"

Ktoś właśnie zamówił dzieła zebrane Johna Keatsa po angielsku, nie ma że boli, że łatwo Tymczasem, piękny wiersz sir Thomasa Wyatta o niestałej w uczuciach kochance (wenie?)
And wilt thou leave me thus?
Say nay, say nay, for shame!
To save thee from the blame
Of all my grief and grame.
And wilt thou leave me thus?
Say nay! Say nay!
Azaliż to opuścić chcesz mię?

Rozpaczow, duszy mey wielce szkoda
Azaliż to opuścić chcesz mię?
Rzkniy nie! Rzkniy nie!

Off the top of my head Thomas Wyatt infodump for @beanifred
Re: The importance of Thomas Wyatt in Mirror and the Light (as well as Wolf and Bring up the Bodies).
Wyatt is a key figure in the books. HIs poetry is often a source of rumination for Cromwell. In Mirror and the Light Cromwell says things like "I love him more than any other living person" so I expect that he will also at least be a character in the upcoming season of the show, but I don't know. They left Wyatt out of the first season because there were already too damn many Thomases and it's difficult to dramatize Crom reading Wyatt's poetry or whatever. (Though you know he could be sprawled across his bed, feet crossed, drawing hearts around Wyatt's name like a stereotypical teenage girl... He is in my heart.)
Mantel explains the extraordinary lengths Cromwell goes to in order to protect Wyatt, who is more deeply implicated as a potential lover for Anne Boleyn than almost anyone else, by having Cromwell make a deathbed promise to Wyatt's father, John to protect Thomas Wyatt. And it's true that Cromwell had worked for John Wyatt prior to the time he went into Wolsey's service. But then he did favors for many noble families in Kent, usually via an older female relative (Mantel doesn't pull that "every woman is thirsty for our boy Crom out of nowhere).
But Cromwell frees Thomas Wyatt from the tower and goes out of his way to make sure that Wyatt does not meet the same fate that he, himself met a few years later...

Guy guys guys look what I found!
So this quote:
Tumblr media
on Thomas Wyatt’s page has been driving me mad for months because of course I want to add it into my book for the irony and there’s no source!
Cut to like half an hour ago, where I’m looking at something completely unrelated in Eric Ives' book about Jane being described as a ‘queen of new and pretty invention" by those Neville’s in the north I’ve offhandedly mentioned in my story.
So I thought this would be cool to add because I’ve never heard this before!? And I try to find the source, because of course I do, anyway the closest I can find is a description of it.
BUT
It mentions Thomas Wyatt!
Tumblr media
So now we know what he did to assist Mary against John Dudley!

Poem of the Day 15 May 2024
Sir Thomas Wyatt. 1503-1542
A Revocation
WHAT should I say?   —Since Faith is dead, And Truth away   From you is fled?   Should I be led     With doubleness?     Nay! nay! mistress.
I promised you,   And you promised me, To be as true   As I would be.   But since I see     Your double heart,     Farewell my part!
Thought for to take   'Tis not my mind; But to forsake   One so unkind;   And as I find     So will I trust.     Farewell, unjust!
Can ye say nay   But that you said That I alway   Should be obeyed?   And—thus betrayed     Or that I wist!     Farewell, unkist!

graven with diamonds | anne boleyn & thomas wyatt you've got me in your pocket, i'll keep you in my locket
"You are destined for the kind of legendary love you only hear about in ballads. We don't need the court or your family or the king. It will just be you and me. Just the two of us. Together. If I asked you to come with me - to give up the admiration of a thousand people for the love of just one - what would you do, Anne?" "I would..." Love you. He looks at me steadily. Doesn't say a word. Waits a beat. "I love you. I can't make things any different from the way they are. All I can do is love you. And you love me," he says, so quietly my heart lurches forward as if reaching for him. "I know you do." Thomas closes the gap between us and kisses me. Hard. His mouth forms lyrics that expose my soul. This kiss is eloquent and alive. This kiss is a song played only once. And forever. It breaks me open. I want this man. I want him so badly I feel like glass on the verge of shattering. I want to kiss him again. To run away with him. - Tarnish, Katherine Longshore
