Being Poe, this one borders on unhealthy obsession (plus, Annabel is, well, dead), but the cadence has always haunted me, sounding like the waves rolling onto the shore.

#HalloweenPoetryMatters #Day11 #Ghost A lot of Poe‘s poems are about death, spirits & angels. I highly recommend the album Closed On Account Of Rabies where people like Iggy Pop, Christopher Walken, Marianne Faithful(who reads the above poem)& the best, Jeff Buckley reading Ulalume. With music & sound effects, it‘s gothic, creepy & chilling. And on Spotify or YouTube I believe! #Scarathlon #SpookyGhostClub 6pts

Unbelievably this is the last weekend in March coming up 😱 Time for our end of month #20in4 Readathon, and a chance to boost your reading before the month end.
Either aim to read 20 hours or 20 chapters over the four days, or even set your own goal. Both new readathoners and our regulars welcome for this fun, engaging and informal Readathon.

Want to take part, then share the goals and books you aim to read.

The official resting place of William Wordsworth and his lovely wife Mary Wordsworth.

Grasmere cemetery.

#OnThisDay in 1802 a brother and sister stepped out for a walk. Sounds unremarkable, I know. But those siblings were William and Dorothy Wordsworth, and their walk that day by Ullswater inspired the words:
"I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze."
#HistoryGetsLIT

"I wandered lonely as a cloud
Which floats on high o'er hill and dale,
When all at once I heard a roar
And saw the fighter jet's contrail"

There were three, perhaps four, fighter jets on practice manoeuvres over the Lakes around Rydale Water & Grasmere today, an unwelcome reminder of global conflict, & a sobering reminder of how terrifying it must be for those who hear that roar & know it's no practice run, but comes with intent to kill. ??
