Andrew Marvel, William Blake To Wordsworth

I What immortal hand or eye Could frame mysteries in the sky! II When the world is too much with us He sends visions, Ramanujans, Christ III Shakespeare had dreams, even awake When humanity was poor in tea & cake IV God gives words to poets: leaves sailing - To begin - loving a pet, sky - urge growing

Love the tapestry of poetry you have woven here, if I could add 'Let us go now, you and I/While the evening is spread out against the sky' - T.S. Eliot

Four wonderful couplets here, Anil. So many poets that inspired the old world, surely they would be of despair today. Words from the almighty are indeed needed now, more than ever.

You have ingeniously put all these great poets in a single frame. Poetry is a divine gift bestowed on us by God. Beautiful presentation, Anil.

Very nicely done, Anil. I think, God has given the poet a very special voice, Divine at times; Psalms of Solomon a perfect example: "The Lord is my shepherd..." Thank you my friend. Joe.

Shakespeare was always ignited with word even when the world crumbled, he was always humble, and fine with verse, Nicely done Anil, thankyou for sharing :)
