I said, okay, good.
Thank you.
It's very good.
So it was my first good review, I think.
And I think that's what it is.
It's an expression of my life.
I read poems and I get kind of, yeah, I get moved by them.
And I don't know why.
I think it's to do with my age and how poetry digs really deep inside us, you know, beyond our understanding.
Let me just find that.
Have I got a minute?
Yep.
Hold on a second.
Ah, well, yes.
It's a warm wind, the west wind, full of birds' cries.
I never hear the west wind, but tears are in my eyes.
for it comes from the Westlands, the old brown hills, and Aprils in the Westwind, and daffodils.
It's a fine land, the Westland, for hearts as tired as mine.
Apple orchards blossom there, the air's like wine.
There is cool green grass there, where men may lie at rest, and the thrushes are in song there, fluting in the nest.
