  1. I shiver, Spirit fierce and bold,
    At thought of what I now behold:
    As vapours breathed from dungeons cold,
    Strike pleasure dead,
    So sadness comes from out the mould
    Where Burns is laid…

    —William Wordsworth, “At the Grave of Burns, 1803, Seven Years After His Death”

    William Wordsworth has a go at a Standard Habbie

  5. Can't let the day go without remembering that #Wordsworth was born #OTD 1770. One of the flowers carved on his memorial stone would be the celandine, which is out now: "There is a flower that shall be mine, /
    'Tis the little Celandine." victorianweb.org/sculpture/wool

  10. Ah, nothing like a 19th-century poet pontificating on #copyright law, because that's exactly what the world needed. 🙄 Apparently, #Wordsworth was ahead of his time, foreseeing the digital age's struggle with intellectual property—because who else but a Romantic poet could truly grasp the complexities of legal frameworks? 📜💡

  15. This book has survived all tests of time - we lost a lot of books from that timeframe to termites ;-) a gift to my grandfather from his dear friend.
    And just because it’s still around I read one random poem once in a while… they’re fun … but my humble opinion is that the man was overrated… #Shelley’s works appeal to my sensibilities more…

  17. ‘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’

  21. Thanks to the human heart by which we live,

    Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears,

    To me the meanest flower that blows can give

    Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.

    Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood (1802-4) By William Wordsworth (1770-1850)

    Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.”

  24. "Bright was the summer’s noon when quickening steps
    Followed each other till a dreary moor
    Was crossed, a bare ridge clomb, upon whose top
    Standing alone, as from a rampart’s edge,
    I overlooked the bed of Windermere,
    Like a vast river, stretching in the sun.” ~ William Wordsworth

    Happy Summer Monday, Fedis

  26. Christmas cards inspired by our ridiculous exhibition at #Wordsworth Grasmere have arrived - the museum is using Stephen Collins cartoon as its corporate Christmas card this year and printed us some blank ones! (Posted em on 23rd November too - all solidarity to striking posties - but please accept these images if you were expecting a card from us this year!) Merry Christmas!
