  • I first heard this poem on an T.V. advert.

    Liked it then and I like it still.

  • @karenemm1 Oh, interesting that they used it in an advert

  • Davies (1871-1940) was a Welsh poet. I'm rather fond of the poem because I approve of standing and staring and because it doesn't associate leisure with having money or buying something. Image of woman from ilankelman, grateful acknowledgement, image of Davies from writersplaques, grateful acknowledgment.
