• Column: 'On Viewless Wings' ~ an Anthology for Winklings + any of Lyndon's Friends at allpoetry
  'On Viewless Wings' is a metaphor from Keats's "Ode To A Nightingale". I hope to bring out a hardback, equivalent in elegance, to an Oxford University Press Edition.
  The anthology will have several themes. It has already begun at the open group:
• The Roving Archaeologist at allpoetry

• Lines ... by a lake at allpoetry

• on Under The Greenwood Tree by William Shakespeare, on March 21, 2008

  As You Like It Act II scv (In the forest)

  Sung in two parts: Amiens 'stanzo' one and all [Jaques, Amiens & friends] sing stanza two. The Arden Forest is the pastoral escape where courtly people learn true values. It is not Edenic (there is an 'old' Adam emblematic of that). In this song by Amiens life is pleasantly rural yet even here there are "winter and rough weather".
  Lovely poem in the context of the Bard's famous comedy of manners.

  You are very informative and an asset to this site. Ron.
• on Winter Uplands by Archibald Lampman, on February 19, 2008

  Written in his late thirties, Lampman's sonnet is beautifully progressed from frost, snow, ground views, the open sky of stars then moon: such a sense of spaciousness and a hint of loved desolation. Substitution of the regular iambic pentameter to advasntagefor above all, poetry, especially like this, is meant to be heard. Lyndon.

  Very philosophical.

  My favorite line is:
  "He that sees clear is gentlest of his words".
