Wandering Lonely as a Cloud Amongst the Daffodils
April by Linda PastanA whole new freshman classof leaves has arrivedon the dark twisted brancheswe call our woods, turninggreen now—color ofanticipation…
I was reading a poetry anthology this morning and the Pastan poem caught my eye because it is now April. I do love that idea of a “whole new freshman class of leaves.”
I also thought to read some William Wordsworth. I have read that for two…

Wordworth's brief was to give ''the charm of novelty" to everyday life and awaken the reader to the loveliness of the familiar.

Poem of the week: To Toussaint Louverture by William Wordsworth | William Wordsworth | The Guardian
Magali Regis
" POEM ABOUT TOUSSAINT LOUVERTURE by William Wordsworth...a great poet about a great man
While on the ship deporting him to France, according to his biographer, Louverture told his captors, “In overthrowing me you have cut down in Saint-Domingue only the trunk of the tree of liberty; it will spring up again from the roots, for they are numerous and they are deep.”

There is a comfort in the strength of love; 'Twill make a thing endurable, which else would overset the brain, or break the heart.

New Year, Old Regrets... I wait its close, I court its gloom
I don’t look forward to New Year’s Eve. When the bells start to ring, it isn’t “Auld Lang Syne” I hear but echoes from the Anglican “Book of Common Prayer”: “We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; And we have done those things which we ought not to have done.”
At least I’m not alone in my annual dip into the waters of woe. Experiencing the sharp sting of regret around the New Year has a long pedigree. The ancient Babylonians required their kings to offer a ritual apology during the Akitu festival of New Year: The king would go down on his knees before an image of the god Marduk, beg his forgiveness, insist that he hadn’t sinned against the god himself and promise to do better next year. The rite ended with the high priest giving the royal cheek the hardest possible slap...
New Year’s Eve in Shakespeare’s era was regarded as a day for gift-giving rather than as a catalyst for regret. But Sonnet 30 shows that Shakespeare was no stranger to the melancholy that looking back can inspire: “I summon up remembrance of things past, / I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought, / And with old woes new wail my dear time’s waste.”
For a full dose of New Year’s misery, however, nothing beats the Victorians. “I wait its close, I court its gloom,” declared the poet Walter Savage Landor in “Mild Is the Parting Year.” Not to be outdone, William Wordsworth offered his “Lament of Mary Queen of Scots on the Eve of a New Year”: “Pondering that Time tonight will pass / The threshold of another year; /…My very moments are too full / Of hopelessness and fear.”
~ Amanda Foreman, from “New Year, Old Regrets” in wsj.com (December 28, 2018)

One Man Went too Mow
One Man Went too Mow
…went to mow a meadow
One Man and his Dog | Illustration: Lesley Scoble
If you are a Chelsea football fan you will of course know this song already! But then again, if you were ever a child you might also remember it…
One man went to mow
Went to mow a meadow,
(aside) Meadow!
One man and his dog,
(aside) Spot!
Went to mow a meadow
Two men went to mow,
Went to mow a meadow,
(aside) Meadow!

Prophets Are Already Among Us ...
Prophets Are Already Among Us …
In every region, everywhere, they are the unsung but mighty voices of community, high-mindedness, and deep resolve. They are the prophets of each era who prod the rest of the world into seeing newly what it means to be fully alive, personally, nationally, and spiritually.

Taylor’s mind. William Wordsworth wrote a poem called “The idiot boy” and it mentioned Betty. Wordworths sister was named Dorothy as well... I have just started studying literature at university and her albums really couldn’t have come at a better time.

The Lakes is a perfect folklore, here's why-
• The Lake poets were a group of poets (william wordsworth, samuel taylor, john wilson, dorothy wordsworth etc) who were the key attractions to the lake, would go and write there. All these people are also considered to be a part of the romantic movement in Europe in the 19th century(the romantic movement is a total different thing but the arts and poems that came up during that movement are just CLASSIC).
• If you've read and analysed william wordsworth poems, it's easy for you to figure out the love he held for nature. He wrote poems about love, nature, beauty exquisitely.
•Wordsworth disliked the changes that flew in the face of nature. He disliked the grand houses that were building up near the lakes and he especially hated the Lancashire industrialists. The same way, taylor so passionately writes about how she dislikes today's technology etc "i'm not cut out for all these cynical clones. These hunters with cell phone.", "i want auroras and sad prose. I want to watch wisteria grow, right over my bare feet.", "A red rose grew up out of ice frozen ground. With no one around to tweet it. While I bathe in cliffside pools, with my calamitous love and insurmountable grief."
• The Lakes is a perfect modern-day Wordworth poem. William wordsworth passed down his feelings towards the lake as POEMS and Taylor Swift passed down her feelings towards the lake, as a SONG; only in different eras. IT'S A PERFECT FOLKLORE, ESPECIALLY FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO ARE LITERATURE GEEKS
