William Blake : Ah! Sunflower |
Ah! sunflower, weary of time, Who countest the steps of the sun, Seeking after that sweet golden clime Where the traveller’s journey is done; Where the youth pined away with desire, And the pale virgin shrouded in snow, Arise from their graves and aspire; Where my sunflower wishes to go. |
William Blake (1757-1827) P. 1793 |

” Similarly, Nico’s daughter, Laura Duguid – also Barrie’s godchild – is more affectionate than damning in her recollections of him. Now 80, she remembers being taken to spend an afternoon with her godfather (by then a baronet) at his flat on the top floor of Adelphi Terrace House, overlooking the Thames. ‘Usually I was a feeble little girl,’ she says, ‘who needed Mummy or Nanny. But I remember having a wonderful afternoon with Barrie – and being surprised at myself for not minding being left alone with him. He told me stories and chased me around the dining table. And, of course, my father thought Barrie was the most marvellous person with children – hence him asking him to be my godfather, and being happy to leave me alone with him.’ ”
