THE SMALL WINDOW

In Wales there are jewels
To gather, but with the eye
Only, a hill lights up
Suddenly, a field trembles
With colour and goes out
In it’s turn , in one day
You can witness the extent
Of the spectrum and grow rich
With looking. Have care
The wealth is for the few
And chosen. Those who crowd
A small window dirty it
With their breathing, though sublime
And inexhaustible the view.

R S Thomas

Well, I wish you a very happy Dydd Gwyl Dewi Sant (if that's the correct grammar). May all your daffodils be yellow, your leeks green, your sheep white and your coal black. revenant · 2011-03-01: 05:57

We, in India, had never seen a daffodil, i.e before the age of internet. Yet were familiar with the word, thanks to Wordsworth's classic poem. Jothindra · 2011-03-05: 17:06
