According to legend Wordsworth's first draft of his most famous poem started with the line - I wandered lonely as a COW - until his sister Dorothy stepped in and made him change it. Sensible girl!

Well I have not been as far as Grasmere to get this shot, just a lot of crawling round my garden until I got 12 out of the 15 daffodils in my garden all in the same shot!


I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

William Wordsworth (1807)

The proverbial expression of the mills of God grinding slowly refers to the notion of slow but certain divine retribution.

"Read a poem to yourself in the middle of the night. Turn on a single lamp and read it while you're alone in an otherwise dark room or while someone sleeps next to you. Say it over to yourself in a place where silence reigns and the din of culture—the constant buzzing noise that surrounds you—has momentarily stopped. This poem has come from a great distance to find you." So begins this astonishing book by one of our leading poets and critics. In an unprecedented exploration of the genre, Hirsch writes about what poetry is, why it matters, and how we can open up our imaginations so that its message—which is of vital importance in day-to-day life—can reach us and make a difference. For Hirsch, poetry is not just a part of life, it is life, and expresses like no other art our most sublime emotions. In a marvelous reading of world poetry, including verse by such poets as Wallace Stevens, Elizabeth Bishop, Pablo Neruda, William Wordsworth, Sylvia Plath, Charles Baudelaire, and many more, Hirsch discovers the meaning of their words and ideas and brings their sublime message home into our hearts. A masterful work by a master poet, this brilliant summation of poetry and human nature will speak to all readers who long to place poetry in their lives but don't know how to read it.

Republic of Work
is a space for work to happen. Not just any work, but your best work; the most productive, innovative, forward-thinking work that you have ever done. It is an environment for dreamers to become do-ers, for thinkers to bring their vision to the real world, a place to start and scale your business.

Poetry may be why we turn to it almost instinctively — as we do other forms of scripture — when thinking or feeling intensely.
