Click on the text to access a trailer for an entry in the Trento Film Festival entitled: "Wordsworth's Quest for the Sublime." The Romantic poets and painters tried to capture the intersection of beauty, power, mystical, and savagery that they perceived in nature. They conveyed nature as sublime as opposed to the merely picturesque. In this video the director tries to capture this essence on film by combining images of the Welsh mountains, with music, and some of the poet's own words.
The Quote of the Week is geared to all fossils, and it is from William Wordsworth ... THOUGH THE RADIANCE WHICH WAS ONCE SO BRIGHT BE NOW FOREVER TAKEN FROM MY SIGHT. THOUGH NOTHING CAN BRING BACK THE HOUR OF SPLENDOR IN THE GRASS, GLORY IN THE FLOWER. WE WILL GRIEVE NOT, RATHER FIND STRENGTH IN WHAT REMAINS.
