>>8138451

Even though he received his post-secondary at Cambridge, spent the majority of his life working as a banker in England, and came from one of those Somerset club New England WASP families, he was still American born 'n raised. Can't erase the first 25 years of your life.

Biggest Englandboo in recorded history? Probably.

The easy answer to OP's question is obviously Shakespeare.

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?

That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

Superior to many of the much-lauded British romantics in my opinion. Isn't revered to the same extent because the body of his work is in broad Lowland Scots.

Also a fantastic songwriter:

I find his patter to be quite repetitive. It's excellent stuff but it's never new - certainly not over the last 10 years.

When I saw him he was joined by Mike Garry, another Manc Poet. He wrote this tribute to Tony Wilson that was adapted to a song.

She walks in beauty like the night
Discarding her clothes in the plastic flowers
Pornographic and tragic in black and white
My Marilyn come to my slum for an hour

I'm aching to see my heroine
I'm aching been dying for hours and hours

She walks in the beauty of a magazine
Complicating the boys in the office towers
Rafaella or Della the silent dream
My Marilyn come to my slum for an hour

I'm aching to see my heroine
I'm aching been dying for hours and hours,
been dying for hours and hours

She walks in beauty like the night
Hypnotising the silence with her powers
Armageddon is bedding this picture alright
My Marilyn come to slum for an hour

I'm aching to see my heroine
Aching, been dying for hours and hours
I'm 18, I need my heroines
Aching, been dying for hours
Oh and I'm never alone now
Now I'm with her
