Celebrating Shelley’s great elegy for Keats If you'd care to drop round and buy me a coffee, you can do so here www.buymeacoff... thanks to everyone who has already done so!
Great video! I love Adonais and your insights. I also felt that Shelley sounded like he was talking about God. I love Stanza 10 about one of Keat’s poetic dreams mourning for him and ends with: She knew not 'twas her own [tear] as with no stain She faded, like a cloud which had outwept its rain.
Thank you Malcolm for the Keats tribute via Shelley and The Temple Of Peace. The empathy of Keats and the perfection of his poetry has ministered to so many, in the past, now, and I am sure for generations to come, this wondrous one whose name was writ in water ...
I don’t have a clothesline but I love to put my bed linens on clothes line to dry. I love the smell of sun and outside on my sheets! Thanks for this lovely video.
Thank you for this enthusiastic (as ever!) introduction to Adonais, and to Shelley, a poet whom I know nothing about - apart from Ozymandias - even though I love most of the Romantics. I will investigate further. Every best wish for your house-move.
Malcolm, I will pray for the coming weeks with the move. It is sad to move from such a loved place, but think of the adventures and writings to come! I too am contemplating my move for next year as I finish my year two training this week and then in September, I start year three which ends in starting my first year on probation as a presbyter within the methodist church. I don't know where I am going but I am finding that I am quoting Reepicheep to myself in that I will carry on and I shall 'sink with my nose to the sunrise'. especially with all the essay deadlines. Bless you!
Another beautiful video Thank you for sharing it with us! I'm in the middle of making repairs before moving into a new apartment myself! Big transitions like that can be hard.
You have an outdoor clothesline dryer. I have not seen those since I was a little boy in the 70s. Out of curiosity, why do you use a clothesline instead of a modern-day dryer?
I think it's obscene to burn fuel operating a tumble dryer when there is God's good sun and air to do the same job. We've never had an artificial dryer
Thank you for the identification. I looked up the tree as I was unfamiliar with the name and discovered that it is an alternate name for what I grew up calling a “catobber” (actually catalpa) tree in the Florida panhandle. We used to harvest the juicy green caterpillars (catobber worms, we called them) from our trees for fishbait. My paternal grandfather even fashioned a cage for them, made of wood and door screen, to take down to the creek or lake.
All good things for your new home, and your new writer's hut. Keats - On the Necessity of Atheism. Yet you suggest here that he was a theist of some variety.
