"A shining night is our delight" Pet MS B4 p80R I do not think this poem - a song of four verses each with eight lines - has ever been published, but still lots of work to do on it. Transcribed by Bridget & Roger on the 9th September 2016.
Over his long life Clare was in the habit of expressing his thoughts in succinct and memorable statements and idiomatic phrases. Thanks to the late David Powell, the librarian at the Clare collection in Northampton, many of these were collected and published, first "Clare's Proverbs" and then "Clare's Aphorisms". However, both books are now virtually impossible to obtain. So to fill this gap, this page seeks to bring Clare's aphorisms to a wider audience.
