I think I saw Venus yesterday from my balcony in the evening... Anyhow, here is 'Hesperus' (in Greek mythology: the Evening Star, the planet Venus) by John Clare, the poet I am enjoying the most at moment...
'[E]arth shall be forgiven'

you might enjoy" I am" by Clare as Well, Although these times are very depressing, I find the ending of the last to be most condoling.

'I am' is for sure one of his best poems, but I'd rather not post it right now...

Thanks for that. You don’t see much of poor, sweet, mad John Clare these days.

The first Clare poem I ever read; it was suggested by my English teacher many years ago for an A Level poetry essay. Now, Clare is still in my life through my PhD. Looking back, my teacher was WAY ahead!
