“It is a Beauteous Evening, Calm and Free” by William Wordsworth.
The story of Billie Holiday touched me more than any story of racial discrimination and suffering ever had. I am thoroughly moved.
Imagine lying in a hospital bed dying and then being handcuffed to that bed. How utterly horrifying of people to do such a thing. No wonder she was addicted as she never had any respect all of her life even though her talent surpassed others.
Wordsworth has always been one of my favorite poets, and it was so interesting to read these insights into his life.
