'Before William Wordsworth’s imagination had wandered, lonely as a cloud, and before John Keats’s nib had quivered with notions about nightingales, a Black woman named Phillis Wheatley was circulating a treasury of nature-inspired verse in London.'

Picked up a Spike Milligan paperback today. The Little Pot Boiler, 1963, a collection of poems and sketches and silliness.

‘that, surely, is why we have poets and artists to really challenge beliefs and customs. Dylan is heir to the Romantics he should be counted among the Blakes, Shelleys and Tom Paines as a wordsmith and the Chopins and Schumanns at composing melody…’and honesty. ‘Great movie.’
