What's Blooming Now - Carlton Daffodils 03/11/10

Seeing my daffodils bloom gives me the opportunity to write down the last verse of one of my favorite poems. In fact, the last sentence of this verse is my absolute favorite line of poetry ever. This famous poem is about a man that is taking a walk and comes across a field of daffodils. He is enchanted and describes their beautiful dance in the breeze. The last verse reads:

I gazed and gazed but little thought what wealth to me the show had brought.
For oft when on my couch I lie in vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye which is the bliss of solitude.
And then my heart with pleasure fills and dances with the daffodils.
