Tintern Abbey on a lovely sunny afternoon.

Tintern Abbey on a lovely sunny afternoon.

And I have felt

A presence that disturbs me with the joy

Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime

Of something far more deeply interfused,

Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns,

And the round ocean, and the living air,

and the blue sky, and in the mind of man,

A motion and a spirit, that impels

All thinking things, all objects of all thought,

And rolls through all things ...

penned by Wordsworth ...... or Ian Tregenza ? ...... the scene would certainly move you to prose. Sorry Bron, Ian is the acknowledged poet in the family ....... or maybe I haven't heard your compositions. The above is reminiscent of the poem he wrote James. Now what is everyone else on your blog going to make of that remark !!

Thanks Mona. Nice to be confused with Wordsworth. The lines certainly aren't mine. I think the verse composed for James is best described as doggeral.
