BeauwinPolly: I've been reading about an interesting production of Peter Grimes in Vienna. It reminded me of this letter from George Crabbe, on his way home to Aldborough. He's not widely read today, but it was his poem "The Borough" that inspired Britten's opera.

GeorgeMonbiot: Liberated from science, the words can pour out, resonant, stirring, uncompromising, unconstrained by factual accuracy or troubling counterpoints. They excite people, but resolve nothing. As George Crabbe asked in 1783, “Can poets soothe you, when you pine for bread”?
