August and the End of Summer

The eighth month of the Gregorian calendar brings summer to a close, at least on our calendars. Nature will continue with her wise and infinite ways regardless of our need to keep a count of where we expect her to be.

Summer's Energy

Summer with its heat, its holidays has a lung-bursting capacity to energise our thoughts, our ambitions and our contentment.

Poets and the Human Condition

Our classic poets, including Phyllis Wheatley, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Emily Jane Bronte, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Sara Teasdale and a wealth of others, mirror these thoughts and desires in ways that express what the human condition really is; a landscape of feelings and emotions, of friendship and family, of love and an ever-changing world that we call our own.
