Thanks Nige -- A wonderful poem to start my day. I found that its care and modesty may create an actual "enormous morning" -- and my a.m. caffeine collaborated in this as well.
Nige, who, like Mr Kenneth Horne, prefers to remain anonymous, was also a founder blogger of The Dabbler and a co-blogger on the Bryan Appleyard Thought Experiments blog. He is the sole blogger on this one, and his principal aim is to share various of life's pleasures. These tend to relate to books, art, poems, butterflies, birds, churches, music, walking, weather, drink, etc, with occasional references to the passing scene. His book, The Mother of Beauty: On the Golden Age of English Church Monuments, and Other Matters of Life and Death, is available on Amazon or direct from the author.

ReplyDeletelovely, Nige. Bishop, like Marianne Moore, is not in my pantheon of favorite poets, but this one is a dandy. The last line transfixes.
