  John Keats – The Poetry Of.  Keats.  The name is synonymous with great romantic poetry and great romantic poets.  A short life but a legacy of works that few if any can rival.  And of course his end was to be tragically romantic.  Keats was returning one night to his home in Hampstead when he coughed.  He coughed a single drop of blue blood upon his hand and said ‘I know the colour of that blood, it is arterial blood, it is my death warrant, I must die. And so it was that tuberculosis took its slow devastating hold.  He moved to Rome hoping the warmer climate would help but died at age 25 in 1821.  These poems are read for you by Richard Mitchley and Ghizela Rowe.

  St David's Day - A Holiday in Verse

  It comes as no surprise to the average Welsh person that their culture continues to thrive despite centuries of seeming servitude to the English.  Wales, exemplified by the symbol of the Welsh dragon, is a small proud nation of many talents, large imaginations and even bigger hearts. 
   
  Saint David's Day, or the Feast of Saint David falls on the 1st March each year on the anniversary of his death in 589 AD. The feast has been regularly celebrated since his canonisation in the 12th century. 
   
  Traditional festivities include wearing the symbols of Wales and St David; daffodils and leeks, eating the National dish of cawl, a thick heartwarming soup, as well as the classic Welsh rarebit, and parades throughout the day featuring the traditional dress. 
   
  The pride in its culture and history is keenly felt and in this volume the poets of Wales through the ages bring verse that fortifies and uplifts the soul of a nation and its much admired literary merits.
