DEATH! to the happy thou art terrible;
But how the wretched love to think of thee,
Oh thou true comforter, the friend of all
Who have no friend beside!

#AmReading "Journal of a Tour in Scotland in 1819" by English Poet Laureate #RobertSouthey.
In a chatty, opinionated account of his inspection tour of the Highlands with engineer #ThomasTelford, Southey rhapsodizes on Telford’s bridges, roads, harbours, & canals. He also opines on food, books, politics, & the Scottish people, even lamenting the women’s habit of wearing curling papers ("Medusa papers") in their hair.
