"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 imprinted on my mind, body, and soul 💚

What nature poems speak to you?

dabbe My two biggies are Wordsworth's “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud“ and Shelley's “Ode to the West Wind.“ Love me some Byron, too! Romantics all the way! 🤩 9mo
AllDebooks @dabbe oh yes 💚 9mo
Kimzey @dabbe Yes! I also love Wordsworth's “There Was a Boy.“ Sad, but beautiful.

This beautiful place is Grasmere, my home.
It's also the death and burial grounds of the wordsworth family.

Lord Byron added an additional stanza that he never published. Wonder why?
🤔🤣😉 Here's the (not-published) last stanza:

Then—fare thee well—Fanny—
Now doubly undone—
To prove false unto many—
As faithless to One—
Thou art past all recalling
Even would I recall—
For the woman once falling
Forever must fall.
[The poem was about Byron's failed affair with Lady Frances Webster.)

TheSpineView He should have published it.🤩😍👍 2y
dabbe @TheSpineView Maybe with her full name, too! If I remember right, she dumped him (a rare thing for the man who was “mad, bad, and dangerous to know!“) 🤣 2y

MayJasper I am not quite sure what he meant. Interesting quote 🙂 4y
TheSpineView @MayJasper I take it to mean that his definition of poetry is powerful emotions recalled and put into words. 4y
MayJasper Thank you @TheSpineView 😊 I was trying to decide if you can recall powerful emotions in tranquility or do you get like a shadow of them. 4y
TheSpineView @MayJasper I suspect it is different for everyone. 4y
MayJasper Yes I think you're correct 😊 4y
