Laurie Lee

As-I-walked-out-one-midsummer-morning

Can find nothing marked on the map

Distractedly among the ruins

I forgot the wolves of the night

I had the same poppy beside me

I liked the sound of its syllables

This turns my mind's eye to The Camlet

I was affronted by freedom

I was the stranger, but felt at home

In order to 'discover the world'

Lyricism and Lee 2

The arrested moment of casual detail

The map was all right as far as it went

the timeless instruction of gardeners

the vanity of solitude

There was really no hurry

You are lost, perhaps

Truth, facts and Romanticism

Lyricism and Lee 1
