Relationships La Belle Dame sans Merci O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms, Alone and palely loitering? The sedge has withered from the lake, And no birds sing.
Oh what can ail thee, knight-at-arms, 5 So haggard and so woe-begone? The squirrel’s granary is full, And the harvest’s done. I see a lily on thy brow, With anguish moist and fever-dew, 10 And on thy cheek a fading rose Fast withereth too. I met a lady in the meads, Full beautiful – a faery’s child, Her hair was long, her foot was light, 15 And her eyes were wild. I made a garland for her head, And bracelets too, and fragrant zone; She looked at me as she did love, And made sweet moan. 20 I set her on my pacing steed, And nothing else saw all day long, For sidelong would she bend, and sing A faery’s song.
She found me roots of relish sweet, 25 And honey wild, and manna*-dew, And sure in language strange she said – ‘I love thee true’. She took me to her elfin grot, And there she wept and sighed full sore, 30 And there I shut her wild wild eyes With kisses four And there she lullèd me asleep And there I dreamed – Ah! woe betide! – The latest dream I ever dreamt 35 On the cold hill side.

It was a square Environmental blank, disinfected 10 Of paintings or toys. I wrote All over the walls with my Words, coloured the clean squares With the wild, tender circles Of our struggle to become 15 Separate. We want, we shouted, To be two, to be ourselves. Neither won nor lost the struggle In the glass tank clouded with feelings Which changed us both. Still I am fighting 20 You off, as you stand there With your straight, strong, long Brown hair and your rosy, Defiant glare, bringing up From the heart’s pool that old rope, 25 Tightening about my life, Trailing love and conflict, As you ask may you skate In the dark, for one more hour. Gillian Clarke (1978)

It was late June.
The steam hissed. Someone cleared his throat. 5 No one left and no one came On the bare platform. What I saw Was Adlestrop – only the name And willows, willow-herb, and grass, And meadowsweet, and haycocks dry, 10 No whit less still and lonely fair Than the high cloudlets in the sky. And for that minute a blackbird sang Close by, and round him, mistier, Farther and farther, all the birds 15 Of Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire. Edward Thomas (1917)

'In Wales, wanting to be Italian'
Is there a name for that thing you do when you are young? There must be a word for it in some language, probably German, or if not just asking to be made up, something like 5 Fremdlandischgehörenlust or perhaps Einzumandererslandgehörenwunsch.
What is it called, living in Glasgow, dying to be French, dying to shrug and pout and make yourself understood 10 without saying a word?
Have you ever felt like that, being in Bombay, wanting to declare, like Freddie Mercury, that you are from somewhere like Zanzibar? 15
What is it called? Being sixteen in Wales, longing to be Italian, to be able to say aloud, without embarrassment, Bella! Bella! lounge by a Vespa with a cigarette 20 hanging out of your mouth, and wear impossibly pointed shoes?
Imtiaz Dharker (2014)

Firstly, shops specialised then You had dairies, fruit shops, Butcheries, news agents, shops for Hardware, bakeries, and confectionery Shops that sold sweets. 5 Sometimes the shelves and shops were empty. There were no customers in sight. At other times long queues snaked For great distances from the shop doors.
You had to be patient to go shopping in those days. 10 And be ready to wait in queues for a long time. As long as it took to obtain The items on your list. It was easier if it did not rain, and it often did. Then we would all huddle together in the four deep 15 Snaking queue against the wall if there was one. People could not afford the luxury of an umbrella or a raincoat. Anyone lucky enough to have one of these, Shared with all around them.
It was with great satisfaction and a sense of 20 A morning well spent when you could return home, With the 5 or 6 items from 4 to 5 different shops Safely in your keeping. For a day or two the family Would have enough to eat for survival. 25
Mary McCreath (2012)

*Shopping in the 1940s: a time when there were food shortages and rationing owing to the Second World War (1939–1945).
