Your site is what I came to. Thanks for enlightening me. I feel so full of knowledge now!

I think you meant pedestrian rather than pedantic, didn't you? If you did, then mine, too. :D Lovely post, and that 101 poems books is one of my favorites, too.

We enjoy Constable and Tennyson at our house, too. I have so many poetry collections I would be hard-pressed to name a favorite, but if I had to choose a trip overseas, it would most certainly be to the British Isles. That painting reminded me of John Masefield's Sea-Fever. Mind if I share? :) I must go down to the seas again to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by, And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sails shaking, And a grey mist on the sea's face and a grey dawn breaking. I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume and the seagull crying. I must go down to the sea again, to the vagrant gypsy life, To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife: And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow rover, And a quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trip's over.

I must go down to the seas again to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by,
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sails shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face and a grey dawn breaking.

I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume and the seagull crying.

I must go down to the sea again, to the vagrant gypsy life,
To the gull’s way and the whale’s way where the wind’s like a whetted knife:
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow rover,
And a quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trip’s over.

It's inscribed "To Mother from Jack, 1945" and I assume Jack was one of our relative but that's all I know about Mother and Jack. The pictures of the poets are a little frightening, but the poems are wonderful. I have an old copy of that same book–I’ve had it since I was 12.

But you must not miss Tintagel as it is magical being at Camelot. Dont forget the Moors, which really are enchanced by wind and rain, those Gothic writers had something right. Keep dreaming! Cindy,

Must add Constable to my list of friends to meet. He'll have to wait in the queue for I'm quite busy wih Mr. Turner currently.
