Memorials Of A Tour On The Continent, 1820 – II. – Bruges, By: William Wordsworth

by

Bruges I saw attired with golden light(Streamed from the west) as with a robe of power:The splendour fled; and now the sunless hour,That, slowly making way for peaceful night,Best suits with fallen grandeur, to my sightOffers the beauty, the magnificence,And sober graces, left her for defenseAgainst the injuries of time, the spiteOf fortune, and the desolating stormsOf future … [Read more...] about Memorials Of A Tour On The Continent, 1820 – II. – Bruges, By: William Wordsworth

Memorials Of A Tour On The Continent, 1820 – I. Fish-Women – On Landing At Calais, By: William Wordsworth

by

'Tis said, fantastic ocean doth enfoldThe likeness of whate'er on land is seen;But, if the Nereid Sisters and their Queen,Above whose heads the tide so long hath rolled,The Dames resemble whom we here behold,How fearful were it down through opening wavesTo sink, and meet them in their fretted caves,Withered grotesque, immeasurably old,And shrill and fierce in accent!

Palolem, By: Lindsay Sweeney

by

Palolem's whispering waves, a gentle call,Golden sands where sun-kissed shadows fall.Coconut palms sway in the balmy breeze,A symphony of calm, the soul to ease.Azure waters kiss the curving shore,Boats dance on waves, with the horizon they implore.Sunsets paint the sky in hues so bold,Crimson, lavender, and fiery gold.Here, time meanders like the lazy tides,As every moment, in … [Read more...] about Palolem, By: Lindsay Sweeney
