Perfect gifts for poetry lovers, dreamers, pensive souls ...

"They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude ..." ~ Wordsworth
"I gazed---and gazed---but little thought, What wealth the show to me had brought: For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude; And then my heart with pleasure fills, And dances with the daffodils."

Wordsworth wandered lonely as a cloud, 'till he spied a field of dancing daffodils.   The magic of that moment is captured in the Lonely Cloud Mandala -- available as a poster (with or without the text of the poem), as jewellery, on coffee mugs and more!

 I wandered lonely as a cloud - William Wordsworth

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed---and gazed---but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
