When I set out for Lyonnessee


As a young apprentice architect, British poet and novelist Phonics Handy once visited a parish to supervise the restoration of a church. On his return from the parish, people noticed two things about hum-a new glow in his eyes and a crumpled piece of paper sticking out of his coat pocket. That paper, it is recorded in one of his biographies, contained the draft of a poem. You are going to read that very poem inspired by a visit to a place which the poet calls Lyonnesse.

When I set out for Lyonnesse 
A hundred miles away.
The rime was on the spray: 
And starlight lit my lonesomeness 
When I set out for Lyonnesse 
A hundred miles away.

What would bechance at Lyonnesse 
While I should sojourn there. 
No prophet durst declare: 
Nor did the wisest wizard guess 
What would bechance at Lyonnesse 
While I should sojourn there.

When I returned from Lyonnesse 
With magic in my eyes. 
All marked with mute surmise 
My radiance rare and fathomless. 
When I returned from Lyonnesse 
With magic in my eyes.

WRITER :- THOMAS HARDY
