In this episode, Phil Rowe explores two timeless reflections on the passage of life — Dylan Thomas’s nostalgic “Fern Hill” and Robert Herrick’s carpe diem classic “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time.”Thomas’s lyrical remembrance of childhood radiates joy and innocence — until time itself steps forward, gently reclaiming that golden youth. Herrick’s poem, written three centuries earlier, looks in the opposite direction, urging us to seize the day before it slips away.Together, they form a perfect circle: one remembering what was, the other reminding us what still can be.🎧 Featuring readings of:“Fern Hill” — Dylan Thomas“To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time” — Robert Herrick🎵 Theme music: “Clair de Lune” by Claude Debussy
