@Civil_War_Spain Brings to mind descriptions in great-grandfather´s letters to his wife from that same place & time. He also describes bursts from anti-aircraft guns and Republican fighter planes going up: "the Catalonians´ planes are like tiny silver dots up in the sky".

@pascalepoet for a former guinea pig owner quite heartwarming

Delight from afar: handsome Long Measure couplets where song-birds are "maddened with spiceries" and wild beasts "drowned in the night-trouble".

[Academy of American Poets @POETSorg]

“The poem ends with the picture of a sudden storm among the hills, a passage which has been rightly judged to be the highest level of poetry reached by the desert singers.”

—Lady Anne Blunt and Wilfrid Scawen Blunt
