Heres a virtual movie of the great Sixteenth century poet and father of the Sonnet in England Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503 - 1542)reading his beautiful intrigue laden poem "They flee from me".This elegant subtle little poem spoke of clandestine relationships and political plots the amorous mischevious Sir Thomas pursued during his short but very influential life.

They Flee from Me They flee from me that sometime did me seek With naked foot stalking in my chamber. I have seen them gentle tame and meek That now are wild and do not remember That sometime they put themselves in danger To take bread at my hand; and now they range Busily seeking with a continual change.
Thanked be fortune, it hath been otherwise Twenty times better; but once in special, In thin array after a pleasant guise, When her loose gown from her shoulders did fall, And she me caught in her arms long and small; And therewithal sweetly did me kiss, And softly said, Dear heart, how like you this?
It was no dream, I lay broad waking. But all is turned thorough my gentleness Into a strange fashion of forsaking; And I have leave to go of her goodness And she also to use newfangleness. But since that I so kindely am served, I would fain know what she hath deserved.

He was in love with her yes, he saw her when she came to the English Court from the French Court. Have you read his poem about his experience of watching her execution?Amazing
I have always been fascinated by Wyatt and the other Tudor poets. Was Wyatt one of the poets to have allegedly had an affair with Anne Boleyn? You could almost believe it from his beautiful text. Then again it could have been anyone else. Great work, keep it up poetryanimations!
