William Wordsworth Porträtt av Benjamin R Haydon |
Fast i dag bara lossnade allt. Vilket till stor del beror på att jag äntligen fick tummarna ur och skrev min recension av Christina Hesselholdts novellsamlingen Camilla and the Horse. Så fort den har publicerats kommer jag självklart att länka till den.
I en av novellerna i den samlingen spelar den brittiske poeten William Wordsworth en liten, men betydande roll. Wordsworth anses, tillsammans med vännen Samuel Taylor Coleridge, vara den brittiska romantikens fader. Därför bjuder jag på en dikt av denne poet med det passande namnet Wordsworth.
I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud (även känd som The Daffodils)
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.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched 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.
