Footnote

Oddly enough, The Ballad of Pekham Rye has, like Praeterita, an unexpectedly beautiful closing paragraph:

'Humphrey drove off with Dixie. She said, "I feel as if I've been twenty years married instead of two hours."
 He thought this a pity for a girl of eighteen. But it was a sunny day for November, and, as he drove swiftly past the Rye, he saw the children playing there and the women coming home from work with their shopping-bags, the Rye for an instant looking like a cloud of green and gold, the people seeming to ride upon it, as you might say there was another world than this.'

It was on Peckham Rye that the eight-year-old William Blake saw 'a tree filled with angels, bright angelic wings spangling every bough like stars'.

    Macaws are playful and active and they have excited personalities to go along with their sizes.
    But this also makes them very challenging pets. They do have the ability to say words and mimic
    our speech but it is not as clear as some other pet bird species.
    Because they are so intelligent, macaws can be trained. You can start when your pet bird is young,
    and work on hand-feeding, teaching your bird to talk or sing, and training your macaw not to nip, bite, or scream.
