i miss being 14 and sat in my little sunlit english classroom in the middle of the woods right next to a 13th century stately home, the last lesson of the day, sleepy after lunch and listening to my teacher recite these two specific poems in her very soft and eloquent voice. knowing that i'd be walking home through the woods with my headphones in afterwards, watching the leaves fall.
