“The prose writer has thunder-legs.
The poet has lightning-feet.
Arriving at the destination,
the prose writer declares,
"I have become."
Arriving at the same destination,
the poet whispers,
"I eternally am."

Les rêveries cosmiques nous écartent des rêveries de projets. Elle nous place dans un monde et non dans une société. Une sorte de stabilité, de tranquillité, appartient à la rêverie cosmique. Elle nous aide à échapper au temps. C’est un état. Allons au fond de son essence : c’est un état d’âme. Nous disions, dans un livre antérieur, que la poésie nous apporte des documents pour une « phénoménologie de l’âme ». C’est toute l’âme qui se livre avec l’univers poétique du poète.
La poétique de la rêverie – Gaston Bachelard
This shot is taken from the Church of San Pietro in Porto Venere. The gulf is so named because it inspired the likes of Byron, Shelley, Dante, and Petrarch.
It inspired me too, but I decided not to swim across the bay like Byron did in 1822 for a rendezvous with Shelley.
Note: The bay is actually behind me. This photo is looking out into the Mediterranean toward's Byron's Grotto.
Happy shooting!

Marko Marulic was a Croatian medieval poet, often referred to as the father of Croatian literature. That's his statue in the middle of the square, facing the entrance to the Croatian State Archives building.

This is the delightful Newstead Abbey in Nottinghamshire. Best know as the ancestral home of Lord Byron (1808-1814). Byron was an English poet and politician. The Abbey is believed to date from the late 12 century and is one of my favourite local places.

Spring had sprung, everything bursting and unfurling; fresh green everywhere.
A beautiful long tree lined lane leading to a mansion would make a perfect shot… if I was conventional.
I decided I wanted something different, and walked around the majestic trunks, in the field, and photographed the ‘outside’, where the branches grew un-thinned and more wild.
I love the patterns and think the delicate green looks very romantic, poetic.
Have a wonderful day and thank you for viewing and commenting, Magda, (*_*)

This is the work of the leading colonial architect of the time in Van Diemen's Land, John Lee Archer in 1847. Archer had worked on many projects, but is perhaps most famous for the Tasmanian Parliament House and the Ross Bridge (although there he was clearly trumped by the stonemason/artist Daniel Herbert). Archer had moved to Circular Head when Governor John Franklin, who had followed Archer's great patron Governor Arthur, abolished the position of colonial architect. He accepted a position of magistrate and helped design the streetscape for Stanley which was officially gazetted in 1842.
According to local legend, Archer built this house in 1847 for one of King George IV's illegitimate sons. However that arrangement fell through and so Archer himself lived there with his family until his death in 1852.
In the 1850s it became a private school and schoolmaster's residence, the first in Stanley. The name "Poet's Cottage" is actually quite late. An owner in the 1970s, the photographer Marguerite Close (1921-2013), named it after her second husband, the Tasmanian poet Lin Eldridge (1924-?). catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/100227?lookfor=author:%22Eldr...{author-cluster:%22Eldridge,%20Lin,%201924-%22}&offset=2&max=2
Fittingly, it is now occupied by the great granddaughter of Edward Curr of the Van Diemen's Land Company (who built Highfield in 1826).
Have a listen to the audio tour:
Le village fortifié du Poët-Laval, dominé par son château médiéval, se détache sur un paysage de collines boisées, à quelques kilomètres à l'ouest de Dieulefit, en Drôme provençale. La commune est membre de l'association des Plus Beaux Villages de France, qui vise à promouvoir les atouts touristiques de petites communes françaises riches d'un patrimoine de qualité.
Au cours des guerres de religion, Le Poët-Laval connut plusieurs sièges : le château, très endommagé par les combats, fut délaissé par les commandeurs qui se fixèrent définitivement à Montélimar à la fin du xvie siècle. Les fortifications furent démantelées et le corps de logis tomba en ruines. La chapelle castrale Saint-Jean redevint église paroissiale sous le vocable de Saint-André.
À partir du début du xxe siècle, le développement du village de Gougne, en fond de vallée, entraîna l’abandon progressif du vieux village, qui n’était plus occupé que par quelques personnes âgées au début des années 1950. Dès 1925, quelques passionnés créèrent l’association des Amis du vieux Poët-Laval, qui freina le pillage systématique dont le site faisait l’objet en acquérant et en consolidant les constructions les plus menacées. À partir de 1959, les travaux réalisés par des particuliers sur toute la partie haute du village, sur les rues et quelques maisons anciennes ont permis de redonner vie à ce lieu remarquable, qui semblait voué à la disparition comme nombre de villages perchés et auquel l’accueil touristique et le retour d’habitants permanents rendent aujourd’hui une nouvelle jeunesse.

__________________________________________
The fortified village of Poet-Laval, dominated by its medieval castle, is set against a landscape of wooded hills, a few kilometers west of Dieulefit, in Drôme Provençale. The town is a member of the Association of the Most Beautiful Villages of France, which aims to promote the tourism assets of small French towns of a rich heritage of quality.
During the wars of religion, Le Poet-Laval knew several seats: the castle, badly damaged by the fighting, was abandoned by the commanders who permanently settled in Montelimar in the late sixteenth century. The fortifications were dismantled and the main building fell into disrepair. The chapel Saint-Jean became parish church under the patronage of St. Andrew.
From the early twentieth century, the development of the village of Gougne, in the valley, led to the gradual abandonment of the old village, which was not occupied by a few elderly people in the early 1950. In 1925, some enthusiasts created the Association of Friends of Old Poet-Laval, which braked the systematic looting whose site was the subject by acquiring and consolidating the most endangered buildings. From 1959 the work of individuals across the top of the village, on the streets and old houses have made it possible to revive this remarkable place, which seemed destined to disappear as a number of perched villages and to which the tourist reception and the return of permanent inhabitants make a new youth today.

While it is not World Poetry Day until 21st March, every Friday is Poets Day here in the UK because tomorrow is Saturday.
I'm hoping to get out with my camera tomorrow. Pain and weather permitting. I wish you all an amazing weekend ahead my Flickr friends. Stay safe and take photos.
Photographed from a stone monument to local poets, T. Hughes Jones (1895-1966), B. T. Hopkins (1897-1981), J. M. Edwards (1903-1978) and Edward Prosser Rhys (1901-1945).
