so-soA collection of poems which was first published in 1798. Some of the poems were easy to follow, others more difficult, but in either case, I can't see what makes them so well thought of. Narrowly avoiding a Pan.

Two free book exchanges in repurposed telephone boxes in Bretherton village 😊 I already knew of the one pictured at top, and picked up the tagged book from there today. The other box I 'discovered' on the way to the first, located on the wonderfully named road, Pompian Brow. Nothing in that one to pique my interest on this occasion, but I'll stop by occasionally to see what's appeared 😊📚
Your story deserves to be read, not hidden in a dusty corner of the internet.
If you‘re an author ready to reach more readers and shine, let‘s make it happen together!
"I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days - three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain."
- John Keats to Fanny Brawne
While reading some of Keats' poetry this morning, I was visited by these four butterflies: Speckled Wood (top left); two mating Gatekeepers (top right: I think they were more focused on each other!); and a Large White. And some water lilies ???
This is a library book i‘ve been working through. I won‘t make it to the end, at 780 pages. But I enjoyed the William Blake section, and I‘m now reading the William Wordsworth section. All new to me, other than Tyger Tyger, burning bright…

16 April - romance
Yesterday my son & I enjoyed another #makingmemories day in NYC.The cold,damp,& rain did not deter us! We took a 6:10 a.m. Amtrak train to the Metro North line which let us out at Grand Central Station.Breakfast for me was 2 mini bacon quiches & Starbucks coffee. Perfect start to my day! The MET exhibit was truly breathtaking. I love how the drawings, etchings, & oil paintings took us through Friedrich‘s artistic & spiritual life chronologically.
pickI wanted whimsical poetry about fey and got a discussion about the evils of monarchies, wars, and institutions at the time. The fairy Mab takes the soul of a child and shows it humanity and its follies and mistakes.
This isn't surprising because Percy Bysshe Shelley was quite the activist in his time and many of the themes reflect his passions and views.
