Excerpt from The Mountain Spring: And Other Poems I wandered down a mountain road, Past flower and rock and lichen gray, Alone with nature and her God Upon a flitting summer day. The forest skirted to the edge Of Capon river, Hampshire's gem, Which, bathing many a primrose ledge, Oft sparkled like a diadem. At length a silvery spring I spied, Gurgling through moss and fern along, Waiting to bless With cooling tide All Who were gladdened by its song. Oh, Who would pass With thirsting lip And burning brow, this limpid wave? Who would not pause With joy and sip? Its crystal depths Who would not crave?

There is no halt; and more and more There seems an open sea Reaching us with its ceaseless roar- It is eternity. There is one Pilot that we need, One who can safely steer, One who at heaven's court can plead, And all our journey cheer. 'Tis Jesus Christ; and all who see In him the truth, the[...]".

Spring was late in 1913 and Edward Thomas decided to go and search for winter's grave and the tell-tale signs of season's turn - he set out to cycle westwards from London to the Quantocks. Edward Thomas 1878-1917 turned from writing prose to poetry in 1914. His work as a poet has been widely celebrated and admired - Ted Hughes described Thomas as "the father of us all". The Pursuit of Spring, originally published in 1914, bridges the divide between Thomas the journalist/critic and Thomas the highly regarded poet.
