And from my pillow, looking forth by light
Of moon or favouring stars, I could behold
The antechapel where the statue stood
Of Newton with his prism and silent face,
The marble index of a mind for ever
Voyaging through strange seas of Thought, alone.

~ William Wordsworth, The Prelude

Good afternoon!

The poem for today is "Remembrance of Collins" by William Wordsworth.

William Collins wrote an ode to his friend and poet James Thomson when he died. Eleven years after writing that ode Collins himself died at the age of 38, disappointed by the reception of his poems and broken in both physical and mental health.
Wordsworth then wrote this poem.
May they all rest in peace.

Good morning!

The poem for today is "The Danish Boy" by William Wordsworth.

wordsworth.quillsliteracy.org/

Wordsworth's note on it says: "These stanzas were designed to introduce a ballad upon the story of a Danish prince who had fled from battle and, for the sake of the valuables about him, was murdered by the inhabitant of a cottage in which he had taken refuge. The house fell under a curse, and the spirit of the youth, it was believed, haunted the valley where the crime had been committed."

What though the radiance
which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass,
of glory in the flower,
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death,
In years that bring the philosophic mind.

William Wordsworth Splendour in the grass
