Closing lines of John Clare's sonnet, 'Nature'.
~
Evenings breath just trembling thro the bush
& then again dies calm and all is hush
O how I feel just as I pluck this flower
& stick it to my breast words can't reveal
But there are souls that in this lovely hour
Know all I mean and feel whate'er I feel
~
He'd be in his late twenties when he wrote this....
Untroubling and untroubled where I lie The grass below—above the vaulted sky.
I Am! by John Clare

Some lines drawn from the closing phase of 'February' (from John Clare's 'The Shepherd's Calendar', 1827).
~
He refers to February as the month of "mocking weather".....
~
Thus nature of the spring will dream
South winds thaw but soon again
Frost breaths upon the stiffening stream
& numbs it into ice - the plain
~
Soon wears its merry garb of white
& icicles which fret at noon
Will grow their icy tails at night
Beneath the chilly stars & moon .....
~
...Nature soon sickens of her joys
And all is sad and dumb again
Save merry shouts of sliding boys
About the frozen furrows plain.....
~
From 'February' (1827), in which John Clare calls February the month of "mocking weather".

This is the beginning of my poetic response to reading John Clare’s lovely poem, ‘July’, from The Shepherd’s Calendar. It’s rough and ready, but at least it is taking on an outline shape. I was struck by the difference between the noise of his evening July open field and the silence of our small enclosed garden.
Our fence-rimmed evening garden sits
In honeyed summer light
No movement, save a butterfly
In startling frantic flight
A small and lovely silent garden
Gently rippling breeze
Patch of clover-covered grass
Beneath the sculptured trees
So different to this morning
When I visited John Clare:
He shared his Shepherd’s Calendar -
July - and I was there!

Brains feed on poetry.
13th July 1793, birth of English poet John Clare. The son of a farm labourer, Clare is best known for poems of the English countryside and despair at its destruction during the industrial revolution. Increasingly throughout his life on the verge of poverty, Clare struggled with increasing depression and eventual descent into mania for which he began to believe that he was the fellow poet Lord Byron, and also William Shakespeare. First voluntarily entering an asylum in 1837, he would spend the rest of his life in various asylums dying in 1864.

Alligator Ponds, John Clare
I rarely have any idea what I'm painting as I work on a canvas. On this occasion I was listening to reggae music (the Gladiators). Only later did I realize this was a river I'd swum in aged 18 in Jamaica, unaware that it was inhabited by alligators until I saw them in the lagoon near the beach. Thus a memory became conscious in the act of painting. A few weeks later, my nephew walked into the studio and said, "Hey, that's Alligator Ponds!"
