Musing:
From By the Sea by William Wordsworth
"It is a beauteous evening, calm and free;
The holy time is quiet as a nun
Breathless with adoration; the broad sun
Is sinking down in its tranquillity;
The gentleness of heaven is on the sea:
Listen! the mighty Being is awake,
And doth with his eternal motion make
A sound like thunder -everlastingly."

And doth with his eternal motion make

Nice photo. Very well captured.
ReplyDeleteTo answer your question the reservoir and small dam was constructed in 1969 to prevent flooding down stream. It created a pond for wild life.
You are leading me on to re-reading poets whom I have not read in a while: dismissing them as mere metaphysicals.
ReplyDeleteThe image so complements the text - or is it the other way. I tend to think Peter might be on to something: comfort and facility.
That labels Metaphysical etc. don't mean a lot to me. Basically I like Wordsworth because he writes about nature and does a great job of capturing the emotion we so often feel in that setting.
