Much warmth, lots of sun = AHHHHHHHHH!


"I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud"

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.


~William Wordsworth

I'm afraid I might get hurt. I'm a askeerd!

Glad you liked the poem. It is one of my favorites and when I walked out of my cave of a school today the sun was bright...in my eyes, it was pushing 60 degrees, and there was a beautiful breeze pushing the storm clouds out from the morning, revealing a lovely blue sky. It all reminded me of this poem. :)

I'll go check out the love-spat, now. HA!
