The natural world is so often the inspiration for art, music, and poetry. ‘The Rising of the Lark’ was collected in the 1870s by Welsh poet and musicologist John Ceiriog Hughes.

Waterfalls are ethereal places and have long been significant in #folklore. They are often the places where people pause for rest on long walks and are spaces of quiet contemplation.

🎇📚 SHORTLISTED! 📚🎇 We are absolutely delighted that Gwyneth Lewis's bold and honest memoir 'Nightshade Mother' has been shortlisted for the Sky Arts Literature award! Make sure to tune in to the ceremony on 16 September! www.skygroup.sky/en-gb/articl...
