Sorry Moira. 1st February today and just as grey as yesterday! The trees in the park aren't Elms and there are no freckles of snow but the Rooks happy to inform us that Winter will pass! 😉

What a way to open a biography! I really love Edward Thomas as a poet and I’ve just discovered two books in my dad’s old things about him :)

"Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring,—
With a poor man of any sort, down to a king,
Standing upright out in the air
Wondering where he shall journey, O where?”
Edward Thomas (1917)

Happy Adlestrop Day!
"Yes. I remember Adlestrop
The name, because one afternoon
Of heat, the express-train drew up there
Unwontedly. It was late June."
May the blackbird - and all the birds wherever you are - sing for you today 🐦⬛🎶

The flowers left thick at nightfall in the wood
This Eastertide call into mind the men,
Now far from home, who, with their sweethearts, should
Have gathered them and will do never again.

The speculating rooks at their nests cawed
And saw from elm tops, delicate as flower of grass,
What we below could not see, Winter pass.

I know your lust
Is love...📖

Blessed are the dead that the rain rains upon:
But here I pray that none whom once I loved
Is dying tonight or lying still awake
Solitary, listening to the rain,
Either in pain or thus in sympathy
Helpless among the living and the dead

Whatever wind blows, while they and I have leaves
We cannot other than an aspen be
That ceaselessly, unreasonably grieves,
Or so men think who like a different tree.
