I loved this tour of Poet's Corner, Anu - thank you so much. Fun fact: W H Auden - 'Cousin Wystan' - was Great Granny's cousin. He'd died before I was born, although I did get to know Great Granny.
What a delicious guide through Poets’ Corner. Thank you. So many familiar names and words. Never been there even though I lived in London for some years. Must make the effort!
I would certainly have envied your time at the Poet’s Corner (which I’ve wanted to visit since I was a teenager), but you’ve shared it so well that I can’t be jealous. Thank you.
Thanks, you must definitely visit next time if you like literature. There’s also a Scientists’ Corner where Newton, Hawking and many others are buried.

Thank you, Rebecca. Wow! That’s so special, that Great Granny knew this exquisite poet! Did she share any stories of him?!

Thank you! I am so glad you are inspired to visit. I was moved. Love love London and its quaint corners…and bookstores:)

I am so glad you lived it vicariously, but do hope you can visit it! Thanks for your kind comments. This was a fun write that happened very fast!
How lovely! I’m a part of all that I’ve read…
Yes, the great bards have a way with words don’t they?:) We grow so much from our experiences and our experiences change as we grow…
Nice, I didn't know about the Poets' Corner at Westminster Abbey!

Wow, I'm not usually very hooked by poems, but I read this until the end. I loved it.
Thank you Anu!
