Great many things covered today, as usual taken from the impressive array of blogs that have been done. Sam made an interesting link with Tintern Abbey and the Upanishads and the notions of atman(the self, in Hindu religous philosophy) and the brahman(God, which is really everything) and the idea that in fact the atman and brahman are one. We just don't realize it in this world. And this tied in with the discussion of Plato and how when we are born we are in fact fallen infinitely wise winged beings who simply have to remember all that we knew before(links with Gnosticism). And all of this is to be found in Wordsworth.

I also liked the discussion of the implications of the word "buckle"; simulatanously being able to come apart and come together and how it further illuminates The Windhover.

And we are to read about the Fisher King, and see how it ties in with The Kingfisher.
