Q Came across this poem by Wordsworth this evening and thought immediately "Hey, it should go up on blather!" Daffodils by William Wordsworth I wander'd 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. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the Milky Way, They stretch'd in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay; Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced, but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee; A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company: I gazed—and gazed—but little thought What wealth the show to me had brought: For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils. 090623 ... unhinged i envy you your underground hibernation 110210 ... lg me too. envy temporary hibernation... time space insular the simplicity that nature can provide all that is necessary for such mysterious growth_in_darkness (sounds good in theory) trust that something good will come from that hidden garden 110210 ... unhinged (the daffodils usually don't blossom here til may. where i grew up they burrowed their way out of the ground in late march and even the slow waking tulips were busting out all over by april. tulips here come around so late, they are barely here all of a couple weeks before summer's humidity kills them off) 110210 ... camille passing by the daffodils every morning a pre-k student waited for the daffodils to bloom he asked..where are they..i said well they are waiting for the sun..to bloom The sun came and the daffodils bloomed beautiful then it rained they dwindled it got cold ..i said to the student in disappointment at the gone blooms.. awwwh (cold breath could be seen) he asked, "are they dead? i said no they are just sleeping waiting for another sunny day...they will bloom again 110514 ... camille http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK9UWpYuZiE 110514 ... unhinged bulbs croci there was a sea of red tulips near my work this week i hope they are hardy enough to survive the cold rain the daffodils on the street where i live are mostly still sleeping middle of goddamn may and the flowers are still sleeping this spring has been agonizing 110514 ... lg 100_tulips i saw them and i didn't know what emotion to attach to the photograph 110514 ... camille a sea of red tulips... inhale ... beautiful 110515 what's it to you? who go blather from
