John Clare
FameRank: 6

"John Clare" was an English people/English poet, the son of a farm labourer, who came to be known for his celebratory representations of the English countryside and his lamentation of its disruption. His poetry underwent a major re-evaluation in the late 20th century, and he is now often considered to be among the most important 19th-century poets. His biographer Jonathan Bate states that Clare was "the greatest labouring-class poet that England has ever produced. No one has ever written more powerfully of nature, of a rural childhood, and of the alienated and unstable self".

Love lies beyond / The tomb, the earth, which fades like dew! / I love the fond, / The faithful, and the true.

Language has not the power to speak what love indites: The soul lies buried in the ink that writes.

I long for scenes where man has never trod A place where woman never smiled or wept There to abide with my Creator God And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept, Untroubling and untroubled where I lie The grass below, above, the vaulted sky.

And all the charms of face or voice Which I in others see, Are but the recollected choice Of what I feel for thee.
