![]() Immediately in the first two lines of ‘Mont Blanc’, Shelley foregrounds the key thrust of the poem: the relationship between the natural world and the human imagination. Shelley composed ‘Mont Blanc’ during the summer of 1816, and it was first published in Mary Shelley’s History of a Six Weeks’ Tour through a Part of France, Switzerland, Germany and Holland (1817), which – beating Frankenstein by a year – was actually Mary’s first book. ![]() Percy Shelley’s poem about Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in the Alps, is a classic example of Romantic poetry about the Sublime – an ode to nature as a powerful and beautiful force. The Romantics were greatly interested in a quality that Edmund Burke called ‘the Sublime’: that peculiar mixture of awe and terror we feel when confronted with great forces of nature. The source of human thought its tribute brings Now lending splendour, where from secret springs Now dark-now glittering-now reflecting gloom. ‘The Yellowhammer’s Nest’, although not Clare’s best-known poem, shows his wonderful sensitivity to vowel sounds, as he explores the patterns found within nature by focusing on the nest of the bird, which is described as ‘poet-like’.įlows through the mind, and rolls its rapid waves, Like Charlotte Turner Smith, Clare is still a rather overlooked figure in English Romanticism and nature poetry, but he’s been called England’s greatest nature poet and the best poet to have written about birds. ![]() John Clare (1793-1864) has been called the greatest nature poet in the English language (by, for instance, his biographer Jonathan Bate), and yet his life – particularly his madness and time inside an asylum later in his life – tends to overshadow his poetry. So it sings harmless o’er its pebbly bed … ’Tis scarcely deep enough a bee to drown, John Clare, ‘ The Yellowhammer’s Nest’.Īnd seek its nest-the brook we need not dread, This needn’t surprise when we bear in mind that the sonnet’s author, Charlotte Turner Smith (1749-1806) was associated with English Romanticism and was also a key figure in the revival of the English sonnet.Ħ. This poem by Charlotte Turner Smith, a pioneer of Romanticism in England who was born before Wordsworth or Coleridge, is that rarest of things: a Gothic sonnet. But as Dorothy Wordsworth’s role in inspiring ‘I wandered lonely as a cloud’ demonstrates, Romanticism wasn’t quite an all-male affair. Its distance from the waves that chide below …Įnglish Romanticism wasn’t entirely dominated by men, although it’s true that names like Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, and so on tend to dominate the lists. To the tall cliff, with starting pace or slow,Īnd, measuring, views with wild and hollow eyes Charlotte Smith, ‘ Sonnet on being Cautioned against Walking on a Headland’. Variously interpreted as being about guilt over the Transatlantic slave trade, about Coleridge’s own loneliness, and about spiritual salvation, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner remains a challenging poem whose ultimate meaning is elusive.ĥ. The poem is one of the great narrative poems in English, with the old mariner recounting his story, with its hardships and tragedy, to a wedding guest. The idea of killing an albatross bringing bad luck upon the crew of a ship appears to have been invented in this poem, as there is no precedent for it – and the albatross idea was probably William Wordsworth’s, not Coleridge’s (Wordsworth got the idea of the albatross-killing from a 1726 book, A Voyage Round The World by Way of the Great South Sea, by Captain George Shelvocke). Written in 1797-8, this is Coleridge’s most famous poem – it first appeared in Lyrical Ballads.

Newton's typically spartan message viewer At $50/year, the full feature set is not cheap but is one I’m happy to pay for if it delivers on its promise. Newton has had two public brushes with death over the years, but has been under new ownership since early 2020. Billed as “supercharged emailing”, Newton is a true attempt to rethink the user experience of email to minimise distractions and promote productivity and focus, but in this I’ve found its reach sometimes exceeds its grasp. Newton (Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch) – Also for Android and Windows. MailMate, using its clever Distortion Mode to obscure my email contents Also worrying, the “recommended” version of the app to download has been a sporadically-updated beta for nearly two years now, which makes it hard to bet on as a daily driver, or justify its $50 price tag. But it’s really hard to get past the antiquated UI layout in particular, there’s no widescreen-friendly multi-line message list. MailMate (Mac) – By the numbers, this artisanal Mac-assed Mac app built by a solo developer, positively festooned with low-level power user customisation features advertised as “experimental” or “proof-of-concept” in the web-based manual, should be right up my alley. Despite supporting almost every platform under the sun, Canary Mail ships native apps for all of them. A security- and privacy-forward choice, Canary Mail proves that securing your data needn’t come at the expense of a polished user experience. Apple Mail on macOS 12 MontereyĬanary Mail (Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch) – Also for Android and Windows. The fact that it’s included for free with Apple’s operating systems is probably what makes it so hard for alternatives to make an honest buck, and why a cottage industry of add-ons and extensions exists for it. Despite a patchy record of quality in the past decade, which has included some almost unusably buggy releases, Apple’s bundled app remains more of a robust all-rounder than almost any competitor (mostly just because of how long it’s been around). These are the apps that made my shortlist:Īpple Mail (Mac, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch) – AKA Mail.app. Otherwise, strap in for some obsessive comparison-shopping!

(Elipses added by me.) A text dump is provided, the relevant bit I think being this: After some time however, it errors out, and states as before that it cannot launch. After opening it, the Dropbox menu appears for awhile opening the menu shows the Starting Up animation. So I downloaded the Dropbox Offline Installer (Dropbox 1.dmg). ![]() So I attempted to re-install Dropbox in order to ensure that I had the latest version.Īfter downloading, the Dropbox Installer attempted to run, but ran into a problem, stating that it couldn't download the program it asked if I wanted to try a different downloader (this despite the fact that it was in the Install phase of the process). I proceeded to restart my computer, but this did not solve the problem. So I quit the Dropbox application from the menu, but it would no longer re-launch, stating that there was an error of some sort. After a moment, I was told that the Dropbox Helper application wasn't responding, and to quit and relaunch Dropbox. I then selected all the folders that I didn't need downloaded to my computer and selected "Make Online Only". ls -l will show it as -r-r-r-.).The internal drive which hosts my Dropbox Folder was nearing capacity, so I stopped syncing via the Dropbox menu.

There are still people on limited and/or fixed bandwidth caps and with the size of the current installers wasting 12 GB or more several times is a bad idea on their part…heck, I’ve got a limit of 1TB per month on cable and I generally only download the installer once and then move it to the other machines in the household. It’s just like…to me anyway…the constant asking about location permissions on iOS and iPadOS…I can understand them offering me the choice that say Weather has used my location 17 times in the past 3 days and do I want to keep allowing that…but once a user has said “allow permanently” 2 times then they should accept that answer and quit asking about it…or at least make it only every 3 months or something. Since there’s clearly a choice in System Preferences…they should honor the user’s choice. I find myself thinking that this constant and forced downloading isn’t a bug but rather an intentional decision on Apple’s part…hoping that users will ‘accidentally’ upgrade and hence perhaps reduce the support calls to Apple. ![]() Inside, a mole man will be sitting on the couch, watching TV.
