Lagos; A Lovely City"."Lagos" by Abisoye Sejoro
https://www.instagram.com/dayo_adedayo/p/CHJ2RbFHtYq/ (Instagram link didn´t work)
Lagos; A Lovely City
City of warmth

City of strong expression
City full of free minds
City of people that are ready to improvise
Lagos; the heart beat of its nation: Nigeria
The center of excellence
The state of commerce.
A state strong like its nation
Great like its continent: Africa
A state occupied by people full of love
kindness and strength
People of great smiles and great heart
Great Lagos
Great Nigeria
Great Africa
Oops, sorry... should have been a song video :(

Rio Sacramento
Bayard Taylor
Sacramento! Sacramento,
Down the rough Nevada foaming,
Fain my heart would join thy water
In its glad, impestuous roaming,
For thy valley's fairest daughter
Watches oft to see thee coming!
Sacramento! Sacramento!
From the shining threads that wove thee,
From the mountain woods that darken
All the mountain heaven above thee,
Teach her ear thy song to hearken,
And, for what it says, to love thee!
Sacramento! Sacramento!
Lead me downward to the glory
Of thy green and flowery meadows;
I will leave the deserts hoary,
For thy grove of quiet shadows
And my love's impassioned story.
Sacramento! Sacramento!
Every dancing rainbow broken
When thy falling waves are shattered,
Is a glad and beckoning token
Of the hopes so warmly scattered
And the vows that we have spoken!
Sacramento! Sacramento!
She, beside thee, waits my coming;
Teach my step thy bounding fleetness,
Towards the bower of beauty roaming,
Where she stands, in maiden sweetness.
Gazing idly on thy foaming!
Yeats: Impressive poem.
I did get lost at:"Very soon the Yankee teachers" - Frances Ellen Watkins Harper; Learning to Read... https://www.poetryoutloud.org/poem/learning-to-read/Quote:
Another emblem there! That stormy white
But seems a concentration of the sky;
And, like the soul, it sails into the sight
And in the morning's gone, no man knows why;
And is so lovely that it sets to right
What knowledge or its lack had set awry,
So atrogantly pure, a child might think
It can be murdered with a spot of ink.
Thanks for the Sacramento poem, taylor.
re2: Puzzled also about that 3rd stanza of Yeats poem: found this analysis that explains the poem stanza by stanza and so troves some light on the third one.
On the whole the pure arrogant white , whatever is meant by it is so fragile that even a child could destroy it.There seems to be a nostalgic feeling about a romantic time, that determines and combines the atmosphere of place, feelings of the lyric I and the poem itself.
Loved "Learning to Read... ":" Knowledge did’nt agree with slavery— ’Twould make us all too wise." Very, very familiar!

"As I walked out one evening,"."As I walked out one evening," by W. H. Auden
https://poets.org/poem/i-walked-out-one-evening
Some interesting imagery: "‘The glacier knocks in the cupboard, / The desert sighs in the bed, / And the crack in the tea-cup opens / A lane to the land of the dead." Enjoyed ! I haven't read much of Auden's poetry, but that can be remedied easily :)
