Träumerei
They came
from out of nowhere
this morning,
before I rose,
half alseep,
for some reason,
hazy memories
of my sixteen-year-old
or thereabouts self
swam through
my sleep-slow mind
and suddenly,
focused on his face,
I remembered
his wiry hair,
clear as a bell,
I remembered his face,
his angry, waspish
bespectacled face.
I hadn’t properl...

Or will they Tyranny put to flight?

And not submit to a thousand ills!

And did Old England once, play by the rules,
That nation of shopkeepers, honest folk,
Who shunned smooth-talking charlatans and fools?

When Murder wore the Mask of Anarchy,
When on Cable Street, at the Workers’ Waterloo,
The Blackshirts’ arrogance met with Unity.

his CONSCIENCE, to speak out against mass MURDER,
murders enabled by subjects of his REALM?

William Wordsworth’s ‘London, 1802’, https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/45528/london-1802
in Italian or Petrarchan sonnet form, bemoans English society’s moral degradation and the deleterious effects of the Industrial Revolution. Wordsworth nostalgically calls on John Milton, poet and civil servant (1608-1674) to as it were, restore England to her former glory.
