Quote by John Clare
I love to see the old heath's withered brake Mingle its crimpled leaves with furze and ling, While the old heron from the lonely lake Starts slow and flaps its melancholy wing
Summary
This quote describes the beauty of a deserted heathland, where the dried and curled leaves of plants blend with the yellow furze and ling. It also captures the image of an aging heron majestically taking flight from a silent lake, gracefully moving its wings with a sense of sadness or perhaps longing. The imagery evokes a sense of tranquility and a connection to nature's cycles, where the juxtaposition of fading and flourishing elements creates a scene of poetic charm.
