on Elegy for Owain by Taliesin, on October 2, 2006
Noble
I love the direct, no-nonsense style of Taliesin, which reminds me of Homeros and classic Greek tragedies! This poem, for me, conveys respect in a proud, rather factual way...and strangely enough there is little sadness. "Where is his peer?"...hmmm, indeed!
Great poetry that deserves more attention!

on The Phantom Horsewoman. by Thomas Hardy, on February 3, 2005Great poem by probably my favourite English poet!
Hardy always succeeds in touchig me with a kind of human sublimeness (if that is a word at all, but you know what I mean).
I love:
"He withers daily,
Time touches her not,
But she still rides gaily
In his rapt thought
On that shagged and shaly
Atlantic spot,
And as when first eyed"
I have made my pilgrimages to Dorset quite often and the landscape just invites these spectral yearnings.
Hardy was the 'mentor' of that other great writer from Dorset that I love (and who is still hugely underrated, I believe!!!), John Cowper Powys...you should feature some of his poetry as well! he deserves to be read more!
Thanks for posting this! One can never read too much Hardy!
Cheers! -
on In Salutation To The Eternal Peace by Sarojini Naidu, on December 6, 2004What a noble and energetic celebration of Eternal Peace!
I love:
"For my glad heart is drunk and drenched with Thee,
O inmost wind of living ecstasy!"
That is how I feel when I am connected to The Whole!
As I interpret it, the message here, so calmly presented, is not to waste time on bothering about worldly, fleeting nonsense, but to find joy in the Eternal!
Hear, hear!
