A happy, beautiful Easter to everyone! This has been such a spectacular year for the spring daffodils at Hamer Hills Farm! They are just begging for an Easter Egg hunt among the vivid blooms! We shot just a sampling of the many different varieties to share with you. Do you recognize the poem that Penny is narrating? It is William Wordsworth's most famous work, "Daffodils" or "The Daffodils", also known as "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud, written in 1804 and first published in 1807. Wordsworth then came back in 1815 and edited the poem, and that is the version you will hear in this clip. The inspiration for this classic romantic poem is widely presumed to be a walk Wordsworth took with his sister Dorothy near their house in the Lake District in England. Dorothy later wrote about this inspirational walk among the daffodils: "When we were in the woods beyond Gowbarrow Park, we saw a few daffodils close to the water side. We fancied that the lake had floated the seed ashore and that the little colony had so sprung up. But as we went along there were more and more and at last under the boughs of the trees, we saw that there was a long belt of them along the shore, about the breadth of a country turnpike road. "I never saw daffodils so beautiful they grew among the mossy stones about and about them, some rested their heads upon these stones as on a pillow for weariness and the rest tossed and reeled and danced and seemed as if they verily laughed with the wind that blew upon them ...
I got it from Leonard Cohen "Master Poems" which you can download from musicforhumans1.blogspot.com Hice una traducción al Español en caso que alguien la desee, simplemente me avisa. How to speak poetry From "Death of a Lady's Man" Take the word butterfly. To use this word it is not necessary to make the voice weigh less than an ounce or equip it with small dusty wings. It is not necessary to invent a sunny day or a field of daffodils. It is not necessary to be in love, or to be in love with butterflies. The word butterfly is not a real butterfly. There is the word and there is the butterfly. If you confuse these two items people have the right to laugh at you. Do not make so much of the word. Are you trying to suggest that you love butterflies more perfectly than anyone else, or really understand their nature? The word butterfly is merely data. It is not an opportunity for you to hover, soar, befriend flowers, symbolize beauty and frailty, or in any way impersonate a butterfly. Do not act out words. Never act out words. Never try to leave the floor when you talk about flying. Never close your eyes and jerk your head to one side when you talk about death. Do not fix your burning eyes on me when you speak about love. If you want to impress me when you speak about love put your hand in your pocket or under your dress and play with yourself. If ambition and the hunger for applause have driven you to speak about love you should learn how to do it without disgracing yourself ...
"Daffodils" do tekstu Williama Wordswortha w londyńskim klubie Sophistic, nagranie z 17 grudnia 2009. 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. William Wordsworth

The Daffodils Wiliam Wordsworth 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, Becide 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. 水仙 ウィリアム ワーズワース谷また丘のうえ高く漂う雲のごと、 われひとりさ迷い行けば、 折りしも見出でたる一群の黄金色に輝く水仙の花、 湖のほとり、木立の下に、 微風に翻えりつつ、はた、躍りつつ。 天の河に輝きまたたく星のごとくに打ちつづき、 彼らは入江の岸に沿うて、 はてしなき一列となりてのびぬ、 人目にはいる百千の花は、 たのしげなる躍りに頭をふる。 ほとりなる波は躍れど、 嬉しさは花こそまされ。 かくも快よき仲間の間には、 詩人の心も自から浮き立つ。 われ飽かず見入りぬ-されど、 そはわれに富をもたらせしことには気付かざりし。 心うつろに、或は物思いに沈みて、 われ長椅子に横たわるとき、 独り居の喜びなる胸の内に、 水仙の花、しばしば、ひらめく ...

Rocky Wilson performs his moving poem at the Camden County Cultural & Heritage Commission's Poetry in the Park, Hopkins House, Haddon Township, NJ, January 11, 2010.
Heres a virtual movie of the great Ralph Waldo Emerson reading "The Rhodora" Emerson writes about the rhodora, a flowering shrub native to New England. It produces multiple blooms, which appear before the shrub's leaves do. The daffodil grows from a bulb and is native to northern Europe. It produces a single flower, whose bud emerges with the leaves. Despite the fact that the daffodil only produces a single bloom, Wordsworth expands its presence by describing a "host" of them. While Emerson focuses on a single shrub, Wordsworth focuses on a field of daffodils that blanket areas beside the lake, under the trees, and beyond. Each flower is native to the poet's country. Ralph Waldo Emerson published "The Rhodora" in Poems, the first of two volumes of poetry, in 1847. Well known for his ideas about nature's beauty, influence, and power, Emerson invokes, awakens, and transforms readers to a richer perspective. In fact, this theme of nature as a transforming agent is among the most fundamental concepts of Emerson's works. As Robert Richardson, Jr. explains in Dictionary of Literary Biography, Emerson believed that "the aim and effort of literature give[s] voice to the whole of spiritual nature to record in words the whole life of the world." The foundation for "The Rhodora" lies in Emerson's belief that nature is a transforming agent. He crafts this meditative poem with precision and purpose. To fully appreciate its depth, readers can gain insight into the poem's essence by ...

I have heard, I hear thee and rejoice. O Cuckoo! shall I call thee Bird, Or but a wandering Voice? While I am lying on the grass Thy twofold shout I hear; From hill to hill it seems to pass, At once far off, and near. Though babbling only to the Vale Of sunshine and of flowers, Thou bringest unto me a tale Of visionary hours. Thrice welcome, darling of the Spring! Even yet thou art to me No bird, but an ...
As Abe Lincoln said, "For those who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing they like." This is Wordsworth's most famous poem and, in fact, one of the most famous poems in English literature so I can't just ignore it. It has been inflicted on generations of hapless schoolchildren. A collection of Daffodils is more a "patch" than a "crowd" or a "host" - except if they're in a "never-ending line", when perhaps "row" would be more appropriate. The line will of course not be "never-ending" and it's nowhere near as big as the Milky Way because man, that's like, really humungous: anyway he lost my credulity when he claimed to be able to count ten-thousand at a glance. I have to mention that daffodils are not golden, they're yellow and they can't dance. The notion that daffodils or waves have human emotions such as glee or jocundity or that clouds can be lonely is called "The Pathetic Fallacy", an expression coined by John Ruskin. en.wikipedia.org If your heart dances when you're lying on your couch then it's probably atrial fibrillation; not serious in itself but keep a phone in reach and remember to tell your doctor who will arrange an electrocardiogram. The word "sprightly" is used these days to describe a certain sort of old man. My wife has my permission to stifle me with a pillow if anybody ever calls me "sprightly". Still, who am I to criticise, if daffodils or this poem fills your heart with pleasure and makes it dance? Let me give Honest Abe the last word too ...
Heres a virtual movie of reading his much loved poem "Endymion" a poem perhaps more widely known by its opening line "A thing of beauty" Narrative It starts by painting a rustic scene of trees, rivers, shepherds, and sheep. The shepherds gather around an altar and pray to Pan, god of shepherds and flocks. As the youths sing and dance, the elder men sit and talk about what life would be like in the shades of Elysium. However, Endymion is in a trancelike state, and not participating in their discourse. His sister, Peona, takes him away and brings him to her resting place where he sleeps. After he wakes, he tells Peona of his encounter with Cynthia, and how much he loved her. Endymion is a poem by John Keats first published in 1818. Beginning famously with the line "A thing of beauty is a joy for ever", Endymion, like many epic poems in English (including John Dryden's translations from Virgil and Alexander Pope's translations from Homer), is written in rhyming couplets in iambic pentameter (also known as heroic couplets). Keats based the poem on the Greek myth of Endymion, the shepherd beloved by the moon goddess Selene. The poem elaborates on the original story and renames Selene "Cynthia" (an alternative name for Artemis).

first daffodil of spring 2009. the poem is "Song of the Daffodil Fairy" by Cicely Mary Barker. I'm everyone's darling; the blackbird and starling Are shouting about me from blossom and boughs. For I, the Lent-lily, the Daffy-down-dilly, Have heard through the country the call to arouse. The orchards are ringing with voices a-singing The praise of my petticoat, praise of my gown; The children are playing, and hark! they are saying That Daffy-down-dilly has come up to town!...
