Transcription of Go Now By Edward Thomas [ Photo with Poem / Experiment02 ]

This poem, which will be covered today, sings about the pain of a breakup. It expresses the heartbreak of a man who was notified of a breakup.

This poet was an English poet who died in World War I. After his death in less than 40, he worked as a book reviewer and did not have a long career as a poet. An artist from rural England who was set on a walking trail seems to have been influenced by this attempt.


Go Now

By Edward Thomas


Like the touch of rain she was

On a man’s flesh and hair and eyes

When the joy of walking thus

Has taken him by surprise:


With the love of the storm he burns,

He sings, he laughs, well I know how,

But forgets when he returns

As I shall not forget her ‘Go now’.


Those two words shut a door

Between me and the blessed rain

That was never shut before

And will not open again.


The main content of this poem is the shock and sadness of separation, so I chose a picture that can convey the feelings of sadness.

This photo was taken at the Han River Civic Park in Guri, Gyeonggi Province on May 1, 2024. The sun was so bright and warm that day, and there was a water spray machine on these flowers, so I could see the flowers that were dripped.

I wrote down the sad poem above with my fountain pen. This pen is Waterman's Hemisphere fountain pen.

And I made a video of me transcribing this poem.

I also transcribed this poem last year, but looking at last year's writing, it's a little bit different from now. I think it's a little bit more refined.

Thank you for listening to my story, so far. 🙏
