My favorite poem about it is from Robert Lowell and includes the line

Particularly the light like a Roman God on your naked body. But I was still there when you got to man-filled city groaning. lol. Did I miss anything between. (halo) I got absorbed from the beginning.

As for crows, I hate them! They're always on the course at Longchamp, looking for worms in turf kicked up by the horses. They're noisy and annoying and no I wouldn't like an alarm clock that sounded like one. Thanks for reminding me of this poem; I like the industrialized city photo accompanying it.

Try some early T. S. Eliot - maybe "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" or "Portrait of a Lady". Or some Fernando Pessoa (a Portuguese poet, the Penguin translations are good); he had over 70 heteronyms but I think you might find him writing as Alavro Campos quite entertaining. Cheers Neil!
