Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 06/28/09 at 12:24 PM they, whomever they are, once upon a time decided to exclude nature from our lives
and as consolation offered us media in its stead,
which is not to be mistaken for Life.
as if media could in any way shape or form replace the nature which once upon a time fed our souls and our lives, the very nature which fed Keats's soul and quill,
which resulted in those magnificent nature driven poems of his.
and I suppose is the reason I love his poetry so much, because it is still resplendent with the stuff of nature and life and not media.
as usual, your poetry Glenn, is like an alarm clock, a reminder for all of us to wake up and get back to nature and leave all this asphalt of media behind. |
