Rise up, my love, my air one, and come away, or lo, the winter is past, the rainover and gone; the owers appear on the earth, the time o the singing o birds

come, and the voice o the turtle is heard in our land.

Blessed is the spot, and the house and the place, and the city, and the heart, and tmountain, and the reuge, and the cave, and the valley, and the land, and the sand the island, and the meadow where mention o God hath been made, and Hpraise gloried.

I wandered lonely as a cloudTat oats on high oer vales and hillsWhen all at once I saw a crowd,A host, o golden daodils:

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

I wandered lonely as a cloud

Fair daodils, we weep to seeYou haste away so soon;

As yet the early rising sunHas not attained his noon.Stay stay,

Until the hasting dayHas run.

William Wordsworth

Robert Herrick

When we were in the woods beyond Gowbarrow Park we saw a ew daodils closto the waterside. But as we went along there were more and yet more and at lasunder the boughs o the trees, we saw that there was a long belt o them alon

the shore, about the breadth o a county turnpike road. I never saw daodils sbeautiul. Tey grew among the mossy stones about them. Some rested theiheads upon these stones as a pillow or weariness and the rest tossed and reeleand danced and seemed as i they verily laughed with the wind that blew upothem over the lake.

Consider the owers o a garden: though diering in kind, colour, ormand shape, yet inasmuch as they are rereshed by the waters o one spring,

revived by the breath o one wind, invigorated by the rays o one sun, thisdiversity increaseth their charm and addeth unto their beauty.

Tere is one mind common to all individual men. Every man is an inletto the same and to all o the same. Who hath access to this universalmind is a party to all that is or can be done, or this is the only sovereignagent.

Each sees in the other the Beauty o God reected in the soul, andnding this point o similarity, they are attracted to one another inlove. Tis love will make all men the waves o one sea, this love willmake them all the stars o one heaven and the ruits o one tree.

Put love in the worldand heaven with all its beatitudes and glories

are those that move the world.

But the love will have been enough; all those impulses o love returnto the love that made them. Even memory is not necessary or love.Tere is a land o the living and a land o the dead, and the bridge islove, the only survival, the only meaning.
