William Finch & Daffodils Pt. 8
An excellent essay that shows how our perspectives change over time. No daffodils in Scotland yet, but some snowdrops are peeking through.
Your mention of snowdrops reminds me of the poem "The Crocuses" by Frances Ellen Watkins. It includes the phrase "the silent sod" that inspired my Substack:
While the snow-drops still were sleeping
Beneath the silent sod;
They felt their new life pulsing
Within the dark, cold clod.
Wow! Thanks for sharing the reference. It's a great name for a Substack.
