Dweller in Shadows: A Life of Ivor Gurney
Only the wanderer
Knows Englands graces
Or can anew see clear
Familiar faces.
And who loves joy as he
That dwells in shadows?
Do not forget me quite,
O Severn meadows.
Ivor Gurney
Forget not thyself and the world will not forget theeforget thyself and the world will willingly forget thee till thou art nothing but a living-dead man dwelling among shadows and falsehood.
from Self-identity (1841) by John Clare: poet, asylum patient
