That might not help, we’re tripping over Nobel winners here…

William Worsdworth?

William Wordsworth?

That is a complete guess, so if it's wrong, any chance on a clue as to what era/time this poet is from?!

Emily Dickinson? (it pained me to type that! oh how I dislike her...)

Yep, it was the Amherst Nun herself, Emily Dickinson. I thought you might guess it once I said she was American, seeing as you know she's my favourite poet! Wink

by Guest Fri 16 Dec - 12:42
