Q: How much is the hair of William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge worth?

'When all at once I saw a crowd, a host, of golden daffodils' as William Wordsworth so beautifully penned. These daffodils are to be found in the grounds of the Friends Meeting House (Quaker Church) in between North Herts Museum and Waitrose, in Hitchin. #hitchin #daffodils #quakers #wordsworth

> William Wordsworth—whose poetry is filled with tramps up mountains, through forests, and along public roads—walked as many as a hundred and eighty thousand miles in his lifetime, which comes to an average of six and a half miles a day starting from age five.
> What is it about #walking, in particular, that makes it so amenable to #thinking and #writing?

'To the Lakes'

This looks like an exciting new exhibition at Wordsworth Grasmere on tourism in the Lake District 200 years ago and the changes that William and Dorothy Wordsworth witness in their lifetime.

My *vase of daffs are making me sad… cut down in their formatives. *stolen beer glass. They were cut down for nothing more than to brighten up my day. They failed through no fault of their own but it’s naff. Naff Daffs no less. Sorry Wordsworth but yours were living their best lives. #Daffodils #NaffDafs #Wordsworth #alwayslookonthenaffsideoflife

Wordsworth was so much more than a word smith. #Wordsworth #poetry #emotionaltuning
