This pic is here for 3 reasons ...( well as if you need any reasons...lol...)
- Check out http://sreescanvas.blogspot..com amazing oil paintings , and they are doing this A2Z flower fest thingy.
- Just recently saw a movie Namesake and the rendition of a poem which was so much a part of our growing up in schools. I have pen down the same for sublime enjoyment for all.
- While writing a play somebody took my character and named as " Narcissus" ( I hate you TR ...lol....)
And now the poem....here we go -
Daffodils
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.
