I wonder if Wordsworth <br />noticed that if he stood <br />very still, aware of his body <br />from his toes up to his head <br /> <br />and looked at the host of <br />nodding daffodils, then the daffodils <br />disappear into the sense <br />of presence as if <br />they were he and he they <br /> <br />I hope he did <br /> <br />cos if he had to walk home <br />to recollect his emotion <br />in tranquillity instead <br />of standing in it <br />out there on perhaps a wet day <br /> <br />then he’d missed something i.e. <br />emotion in tranquillity recollected <br /> <br />Not to mention surrendering <br />the feeling he’d lost <br />something since his boyhood. <br /> <br />Try it yourself, it might <br />save a lot of walking and <br />trying the view from over there <br />instead of here <br /> <br />and now. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />[Yes, Eckhart Tolle, it’s thanks to you again…]<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wordsworth-a-fortune/
