    well found merrylegs. I was going to ask, but googled - Coleridge.
    Quite serene and meditative.

    Nice choice merry!

    Keep meaning to post a link to Summertime in England by Van Morrison on Tonight's Music. Wordsworth and Coleridge get a mention, along with William Blake and TS Eliot

    Below I'm beckoned come hither my friend,
    I'm sent down fast by a northern blast,
    The time of my freedom is at an end,
    No longer unique but happy as i'm with my brothers at last.

    He told you he was ill and on that sad day he was dead and goon.

    Out on the hills, confronting my demons,
    Every step leaves them behind,
    It's the only place where life makes sense!


    Goodnight good people

    Under The Balcony by Oscar Wilde


    O beautiful star with the crimson mouth!
    O moon with the brows of gold!
    Rise up, rise up, from the odorous south!
    And light for my love her way,
    Lest her little feet should stray
    On the windy hill and the wold!
    O beautiful star with the crimson mouth!
    O moon with the brows of gold!

    O ship that shakes on the desolate sea!
    O ship with the wet, white sail!
    Put in, put in, to the port to me!
    For my love and I would go
    To the land where the daffodils blow
    In the heart of a violet dale!
    O ship that shakes on the desolate sea!
    O ship with the wet, white sail!

    O rapturous bird with the low, sweet note!
    O bird that sits on the spray!
    Sing on, sing on, from your soft brown throat!
    And my love in her little bed
    Will listen, and lift her head
    From the pillow, and come my way!
    O rapturous bird with the low, sweet note!
    O bird that sits on the spray!

    O blossom that hangs in the tremulous air!
    O blossom with lips of snow!
    Come down, come down, for my love to wear!
    You will die on her head in a crown,
    You will die in a fold of her gown,
    To her little light heart you will go!
    O blossom that hangs in the tremulous air!
    O blossom with lips of snow!

    High waving heather 'neath stormy blasts bending


    High waving heather 'neath stormy blasts bending,
    Midnight and moonlight and bright shining stars,
    Darkness and glory rejoicingly blending
    Earth rising to heaven and heaven descending
    Man's spirit away from its drear dungeon sending
    Bursting the fetters and breaking the bars
    All down the mountain sides wild forests lending
    One mighty voice to the life-giving wind
    Rivers their banks in their jubilee rending
    Fast through the valleys a reckless course wending,
    Wider and deeper their waters extending
    Leaving a desolate desert behind.
    Shining and lowering and swelling and dying
    Changing forever from midnight to noon
    Roaring like thunder, like soft music sighing
    Shadows on shadows advancing and flying
    Lightning-bright flashes the deep gloom defying
    Coming as swiftly and fading as soon

    Emily Bronte
