I'm pleased to introduce Symons to you -- I think that you will like his sea-side and countryside poems, as well as "Cities and Sea-Coasts and Islands," which I mentioned in my response to alice c's comment. I'm sure that you're familiar with some of the places in England and Wales that he writes about.<br /><br />Thanks again.Stephen Pentzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14882220887712092005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5010170380967519230.post-8825230197443466742012-08-13T13:19:28.951-07:002012-08-13T13:19:28.951-07:00Rob K: thank you for visiting, and for the referen...Rob K: thank you for visiting, and for the reference to Longfellow's poem.

Also, you may wish to track down a copy of his travel book "Cities and Sea-Coasts and Islands": it contains 3 or 4 essays on Cornwall.<br /><br />Thanks for visiting again.Stephen Pentzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14882220887712092005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5010170380967519230.post-49155817932921390522012-08-13T08:00:57.060-07:002012-08-13T08:00:57.060-07:00Sorry to have been MIA again, but now I'm back...Sorry to have been MIA again, but now I'm back this post has just cheered me up.
