Thank you for these fascinating insights to a unique poet. Your comparisons of Clare’s and Keats’ descriptions of the natural world are especially revealing, and Clare’s distress at the ravaging of nature presages the alarm we all feel now at the oh too rapid erosion of flora and fauna. I listened again to Rory Kinnear and Eva Green reciting “I am” in Penny Dreadful. An extraordinary and beautiful rendition.
