S6 Ep 1: "Leisure" by W H Davies: Time to Stand and Stare
Today we have a famous pre-war poem by Welsh poet, W. H. Davies, "Leisure." Born in 1871, Davies led a life filled with adventure, including a train accident in America that resulted in the loss of a leg. His memoir, "Autobiography of a Super-Tramp," provides a captivating account of his years of poverty and freedom.
Leisure is a startlingly simple poem of enduring relevance, beckoning us to take time to appreciate the beauty around us.
