To Wordsworth by Percy Bysshe Shelley

The radical young poet’s backhanded tribute to the older writer is a stern judgment on his lapsed political idealism

Portrait of William Wordsworth by Sir William Boxall, 1831. The oil painting depicts the great Romantic poet in his early sixties, with white hair, wearing a dark coat and cravat, rendered in warm brown tones with loose, atmospheric brushwork against a dark background. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/William_Wordsworth#/media/File:William-Wordsworth.jpg

"Water, water, everywhere but not a drop to drink in #russian occupied #Donetsk, unless you get it trucked in!"*

*with apologies to #Samuel_Taylor_Coleridge and #William_Wordsworth.

But my actual favorite might be the only poem where he says a nice thing about a city
William_Wordsworth (1770-1850) COMPOSED UPON WESTMIN-STER BRIDGE, SEPT. 3, 1802 Written on the roof of a coach, on my way to France. Ea has not anything to show more fair: Dull would he be of soul who could pass by A sight so touching in its majesty: This City now doth, like a garment, wear The beauty of the morning; silent, bare, Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie Open unto the fields, and to the sky; All bright and glittering in the smokeless air. Never did sun more beautifully steep In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill; Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep! The river glideth at his own sweet will: Dear God! the very houses seem asleep; And all that mighty heart is lying still!
