https://williamwoodswords.wordpress.com/2015/04/05/two-truths

William Wood's Words. POETIC EXCHANGE →. 05/04/2015 · 9:23 am. Some of us in times of great distress or great happiness will write a poem to celebrate or alleviate our emotions; some of us have tried to sublimate feelings of loss or sing of happiness in short stories; some of us have tried to palliate feelings of loss in short stories; and many first novels are autobiographical. I reproduce both pieces below. I am not sure which contains the greater truth. Number 1 A GENEROUS MAN. John Smith smiled and u...

William Wood's Words. FROM THE MADDING CROWD. LISTENING TO THE TORRENT →. 12/06/2015 · 4:32 pm. Oh, give me my memory back. And I don’t mean nostalgic flashes. Of distant childhood days. Of errant, youthful ways. No, I want to hold on to the plot. Of the latest film or book. Long enough to give the whole work. A considered, critical look. Of course I’d like to remember. Where I parked the car in town. The jacket in which I left my phone. And where my glasses have gone. But most of all I want to recall.

Gambia sits in the middle between the two halves of Senegal and we had to drive right through this tiny country. But to get into Banjul in the first place we had to cross the River Gambia .The queues for the car ferry can last as long as four hours and even then you fight to get on.

William Wood's Words. I'm an author of novels, short stories and poetry. 03/11/2016 · 9:56 am. AU COMMENCEMENT DU SEPTIEME JOUR by LUC LANG. On the literary level the narrative is dense and detailed, both the physical descriptions, be they of a motorway journey or a mountain hike, or the back stories of so many of the secondary characters he meets along the way. It is a long, rich novel but it would benefit by being a little slimmer. 19/06/2016 · 7:29 am. The idea was so novel that he smiled as he entere...

Once when cutting thistles one wet autumn you ran the heavy old Fordson tractor into a boggy area of the field that looks so dry and sunny in the painting. It took half an afternoon and another tractor to pull it out. OBJECTS THAT FOLLOW YOU AROUND. Jørn Lier Horst →. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here. Address never made public).

Garages, too, are a magnet for old tools, mowers, hinges, screws, nails and useful bits of wood. In your case, however, during your working life you moved to a different country every three or four years and as a result are relatively unencumbered. BEHIND AN OIL PAINTING →. One response to “.

William Wood's Words. Newer posts →. 20/05/2015 · 8:35 am. La Belle Dame Sans Merci by John Keats. After reading Keats’ poem at my poetry group last night I went to bed and dreamed the following poem almost fully formed. I had to get up and write it down before the strange woman disappeared. There is nothing autobiographical about it and only a tenuous link with the first belle dame. But in the night she haunted me in the same way. You had no time for books. Never made sweet moan. Nor lingered long in bed.

William Wood's Words. La Belle Dame Sans Merci by John Keats. Work in Progress →. 21/05/2015 · 10:49 am. FROM THE MADDING CROWD. In the last few months I have seen the restored 1960s film version with Julie Christie, re-read Thomas Hardy’s novel and most recently watched the latest film with Carey Mulligan as Bathsheba. Hardy’s and the older film’s ending with a quiet and unpretentious marriage works much better. La Belle Dame Sans Merci by John Keats. Work in Progress →. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.
